Solution

The correct option is C structural formula
Atoms bonded to each carbon atom in a molecule can be determined by structural formula.
For example, the structural formula of 2-chloro-1-butanol is as shown.
HOCH2CH(Cl)CH2CH3
From the above structural formula, we can see that OH group is attached to first C atom and Cl atom is attached to second C atom.
