" PP " is an optically active compound with molecular formula C6H12O\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}. When ' P ' is treated with 2,4dinitrophenylhydrazine, it gives a positive test. However, in presence of Tollens reagent, "P" gives a negative test. Predict the structure of "P".

  1. Option A:
    Option A figure
    Correct
  2. Option B:
    Option B figure
  3. Option C:
    Option C figure
  4. Option D:
