Solution

The correct option is B False
$C_{n} H_{2 n - 1} (O H)_{3}$ is a general formula for trihydric alcohols. Thus, glycrine (propane-1,2,3-triol) has formula $C_{3} H_{8} O_{3}$ or $C_{3} H_{5} (O H)_{3}$ .
$C_{n} H_{2 n - 1} (O H)_{3} = C_{3} H_{2 (3) - 1} (O H)_{3} = C_{3} H_{5} (O H)_{3} = C_{3} H_{8} O_{3}$
