### Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds

#### Question:
When compound **C** is properly named, what are the stereochemical labels?

#### Diagram:
The diagram showcases four different compounds labeled **A, B, C,** and **D**. Each compound is an isomer with an alcohol (-OH) group attached to a carbon chain that includes a double bond:

**A:**
CH3-CH(OH)-CH=CH2

**B:**
CH3-CH(-OH)-CH=CH2

**C:**
CH3-CH(OH)-CH=CH2

**D:**
CH3-CH(-OH)-CH=CH2

It's important to note the stereochemistry:
- Compound **A** has the -OH group on a wedge, indicating an upward projection.
- Compound **B** has the -OH group on a dash, indicating a downward projection.
- Compound **C** visually appears identical to **A** but should be analyzed for stereochemical confirmation.
- Compound **D** also has the -OH group on a dash, similar to **B**.

#### Multiple Choice Answers:
- ○ 2S, 3E
- ○ 2S, 3Z
- ○ 2R, 3Z
- ○ 2R, 3E

Given Compound C, the primary analysis would involve:

1. **Determining the Configuration at Carbon 2 (C2):**
    - Check the priorities of the substituents around the chiral center (C-2).

2. **Determining the Double Bond Configuration:**
    - Check the E/Z configuration around the double bond (C3=C4).

Use the R/S and E/Z nomenclature rules to properly determine the stereochemical labels.

For detailed answers and explanations, refer to stereochemistry rules and the CIP (Cahn-Ingold-Prelog) priority rules.
