### Enantiomer Identification Exercise

Select the structure that is the **enantiomer** of the structure in the box.

#### Given Structure
- The structure in the box is a 2-bromo-1-propanol with the following configuration:
  - Hydroxyl group (OH) at the top.
  - Bromine atom (Br) at the bottom.
  - Hydrogen atom (H) and methyl group (CH\(_3\)) attached to the central carbon.

#### Possible Choices for Enantiomers
**Structure A:**
- Hydroxyl group (OH) in a boat conformation and bromine atom (Br) in a dashed line conformation. 

**Structure B:**
- Hydroxyl group (OH) in the dashed line conformation and bromine atom (Br) in a boat conformation.

**Structure C:**
- A similar structure as described in Structure B.

#### Multiple Choice Question:
1. **B**
2. **None of the structures is the enantiomer of the structure in the box**
3. **A**
4. **C**

Select the correct enantiomer from the options above.

#### Explanation:
- Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
- Determine which structure has the groups in reversed configurations compared to the given structure to identify the correct enantiomer.
