= Solution

The increment of the stopped process is
$$
M_{(n+1)\wedge T}-M_{n\wedge T}
=\mathbf1_{\{T>n\}}(M_{n+1}-M_n).
$$
Because $T$ is a stopping time, $\{T>n\}\in\mathcal F_n$. Taking conditional expectation therefore gives zero. The stopped variables are adapted and integrable, so the <stopped martingale in discrete time> is a martingale.
