### Identifying the Structure Producing the Mass Spectra

#### Problem Statement:
Indicate which structure produces the mass spectra below. Submit your answer as a single letter with no abbreviation.

#### Mass Spectrum Explanation:
The mass spectrum provided displays the following key peaks (m/z is the mass-to-charge ratio):
- A peak at m/z = 29
- A large peak at m/z = 45
- A peak at m/z = 74

The y-axis represents the relative intensity of the detected ions, ranging from 0 to 100. The x-axis represents the m/z values, ranging from 10 to 120.

#### Provided Structures:
Below the mass spectrum, six chemical structures are shown with labels (a) to (f):

**Structure (a):**
```
   O
   | |
CH3-C-CH3
```

**Structure (b):**
```
   O
   | |
CH3-O-CH2-CH3
```

**Structure (c):**
```
CH3-CH2-NH2
```

**Structure (d):**
```
   H
   |
CH3-CH2-NH-CH3
```

**Structure (e):**
```
CH3-CH-O-CH2-CH3
```

#### Answer Section:

- **Answer:**

Please match the observed peaks with the given structures to determine which structure corresponds to the provided mass spectrum. 

**Answer**: ____

> Note: When you submit the answer, make sure to provide the answer as a single letter (a, b, c, d, e, or f) without any abbreviation.
