Compound 'X' \[({{C}_{5}}{{H}_{8}}{{O}_{2}})\] forms a dioxime with \[N{{H}_{2}}OH\]. On Clemmensen reduction it forms a compound which forms only one monochloro derivative 'X' can be:

A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{O}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}-CHO\]

B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{CH}}\,}}\,-\underset{O}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-CHO\]

C)  

D)  \[OHC-C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-CHO\]

Correct Answer: C
