Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about the prefixes to solve this. I've attached a Latin prefix chart. It might help to memorize this!

Tri- carbon means 3 carbons.

Nona- chloride means 9 chlorines.

So the answer is C₃Cl₉.

The reason we use these prefixes is because it's a covalent compound. If it's ionic, we don't need to use the tri- or nona- parts of it.
