Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, D
Solution:

Since, -COOH is on ring, simple suffix -oic acid would not work. Suffix carboxylic acid would be used. If there is only one principal functional group on ring, its position is not mentioned in the ring. Position of two chlorine atoms are correctly mentioned and the compound is polar.
