Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The NMR spectrum for this compound shows four different signals in the ratio of 3:1:4. The integration of the signals indicates that there are three equivalent protons, one proton in a different chemical environment, and four equivalent protons. This is consistent with the compound having a benzene ring (four equivalent protons) and a methyl group attached to the ring (one proton in a different chemical environment). The ratio of the integrations is consistent with the expected number of protons in each chemical environment. Therefore, choice C is the best answer.
