Which C=O functional group is present in the following molecule? (The molecule is in the picture)
The image shows a structural chemical formula for an organic compound. It features a carbon chain with an ester functional group.

The structure includes:
- Three carbon atoms connected by single bonds, with the middle carbon double-bonded to an oxygen atom.
- The middle carbon is also bonded to an oxygen atom, which further connects to another carbon atom, forming an ester linkage.

Below the structure, there is a multiple-choice question asking to identify the type of functional group present in the compound:

A) Aldehyde  
B) Carboxylic acid  
C) Ester  
D) Ketone  

The correct answer is C) Ester.
