Solution

The correct option is A methanal
The number of carbon atoms present in the parent chain is one so the word root is meth. As there is no carbon-carbon double or triple bond, the primary suffix is ane. The functional group present here is aldehyde, so, the secondary suffix is al.

Hence, the correct IUPAC nomenclature of the given compound is methanal.
