**Question:**
An isomer of \( \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{-C=O}\text{H} \) is:
**Options:**
- \( \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{-C=O}\text{H} \)
(Checkbox not selected)
- \( \text{CH}_3\text{-C=O}\text{-CH}_3 \)
(Checkbox not selected)
- \( \text{CH}_3\text{-O-CH}_2\text{CH}_3 \)
(Checkbox not selected)
- \( \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{-OH} \)
(Checkbox selected)
**Explanation:**
The original molecule is an aldehyde with the structure \( \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{-C=O}\text{H} \) (propanal). The correct isomer among the choices is \( \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{-OH} \) (propanol), as indicated by the selected checkbox.
**Note:**
An isomer is a compound with the same molecular formula but a different structural formula. Hence, for propanal (C₃H₆O), propanol is a structural isomer representing an alcohol group instead of an aldehyde.
