Answer:
2-Oxo Propanal.
Reasons:
There are 2 groups presented in this compound namely, Aldehyde and a Ketone group.
As we know that Ketone group has a higher priority we start numbering from Aldehyde group and Ketone group gets 2nd number.
Since Aldehyde groups have a higher priority, the ketone group will act as a substituent and will give the primary preffix '2-Oxo'
The main chain is 3 carbons long. Word Root is 'Prop-'
There are no double or triple bonds so the primary suffix is '-ane' but since 2 vowels cannot be kept together it is shortened to '-an'.
