Compound $\text{A}\left({\text{C}}_{\text{7}}{\text{H}}_{\text{8}}\text{O}\right)$ is insoluble in water, dilute $\text{HCl}$ & aqueous ${\text{NaHCO}}_3$ but it dissolves in dilute $\text{NaOH}$ when $\text{A}$ is heated with ${\text{Br}}_2$ water, it is converted into a compound ${\text{C}}_{\text{7}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}{\text{OBr}}_{\text{3}}$ rapidly. The structure of $\text{A}$ is:

• A

  
• B

  
• Correct answer
  C

  
• D

  

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
