An organic compound $[A]$,molecular formula $C_{10}H_{20}O_2$,was hydrolyzed with dilute sulphuric acid to give a carboxylic acid $[B]$ and an alcohol $[C]$. Oxidation of $[C]$ with $CrO_3-H_2SO_4$ produced $[B]$. Which of the following structures are not possible for $[A]$?

  • A
    $(CH_3)_3C-COOCH_2C(CH_3)_3$
  • B
    $CH_3CH_2CH_2COOCH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3$
  • C
    $CH_3-CH_2-CH(CH_3)-O-CO-CH_2-CH(CH_3)-CH_2CH_3$
  • D
