Answer: (D)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Examine the structure of the compound provided in the image. Look for characteristic groupings of atoms that correspond to known functional groups.
2. Identify the ester functional group, which is characterized by the presence of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom (carbonyl group) and single-bonded to another oxygen atom that is also bonded to another carbon atom (R-CO-O-R').
3. Identify the alcohol functional group, which is characterized by the presence of an -OH (hydroxyl) group bonded to a carbon atom.
4. Verify that the structure contains both the ester and alcohol groups by checking the connectivity of the atoms in the structure.
5. Conclude that the compound contains both ester and alcohol functional groups based on the identified features in the structure.
