**Question 9: Analysis of Proton NMR Data**

**Question:**
Which compound below fits the following proton NMR data?

- Singlet at δ 2.24 (3H)
- Singlet at δ 4.53 (2H)
- Singlet at δ 3.31 (3H)

**Compounds:**
- **Compound A:** Contains an acetyl group and appears to have a benzene ring attached.
- **Compound B:** Contains an ethyl group with an alcohol (OH) and a methoxy group (OCH₃).
- **Compound C:** Contains an acetyl group and an ethyl group.
- **Compound D:** Contains an ethyl group with an alcohol (OH).

**Explanation:**
- The NMR data shows three singlets.
- A singlet at δ 2.24 suggests a methyl group attached to a deshielding group.
- A singlet at δ 4.53 might correspond to protons on an oxygen or other electronegative atoms.
- A singlet at δ 3.31 could indicate a methoxy group or similar environment.

Consider the structure and chemical environment of each compound to determine which best matches the given NMR data.
