Correct answer: D

  1. We need the bond-line formula of HOCH(CN)2\mathrm{HOCH(CN)_2}HOCH(CN)2​.

  2. First, interpret the condensed formula: HOCH(CN)2\mathrm{HOCH(CN)_2}HOCH(CN)2​ This means one central carbon atom is attached to:

    • one OH\mathrm{OH}OH group,
    • one H\mathrm{H}H atom,
    • two CN\mathrm{CN}CN groups.
  3. So the expanded structure is: NC−CH(OH)−CN\mathrm{NC-CH(OH)-CN}NC−CH(OH)−CN or equivalently, HO−CH(CN)2\mathrm{HO-CH(CN)_2}HO−CH(CN)2​

  4. Now identify what this looks like in bond-line form:

    • The central carbon is a carbon with four single bonds.
    • It is bonded to OH\mathrm{OH}OH, to H\mathrm{H}H, and to two nitrile groups (−C≡N)(-\mathrm{C\equiv N})(−C≡N).
    • Thus the correct skeletal drawing must show a central carbon connected to two C≡N\mathrm{C\equiv N}C≡N groups and one OH\mathrm{OH}OH.
  5. Among the given options, the one corresponding to this arrangement is Option D.

Therefore, the correct answer is: D\boxed{\text{D}}D​
