Optically active `CH_(3) -CH_2-overset(OH)overset(|)(CH)-CH_3`was found to have lost its optical activity after standing in water containing a few drops of acid, mainly due to the formation of

Options

A. `CH_(3) -CH_2-CH =CH_3`
B. `CH_(3) -CH_2 =CH -CH_3`
C. `CH_(3) -overset(CH_3)overset(|)CH-CH_2 -OH`
D. `CH_(3) - CH_2-CH_2 -CH_2-OH`
