Answer

Fig 4

Explanation

Solution

The given compound is HOCH(CN)2\text{HOCH(CN)}_2. This indicates a carbon atom bonded to a hydroxyl group (−OH-\text{OH}) and two cyano groups (−CN-\text{CN}).

The correct bond-line formula for this structure is represented by option (4).

Explanation: The central carbon atom is bonded to one hydroxyl group (−OH-\text{OH}) and two cyano groups (−CN-\text{CN}). This structure matches the representation of option (4), showing two cyano groups attached to the central carbon atom along with the hydroxyl group.
