The parent hydrocarbon contains 3 C atoms and an aldehyde group. Hence, it is named propanal. The suffix 'al' indicates the aldehyde group. The chlorine atom is present as a substituent and is indicated by a prefix.
The numbering is done from the end which starts with the aldehyde group.
The correct IUPAC name is 3-chloro-propanal.
