Na will react with both Na and COOH okay so
when it reacts with 1 OH it will give charge of -1 and then another OH it will become -2 and then with COOH it will be -3 as the question says
and NaOH will only react with COOH
so it will give -1 with one COOH thats it
but for A there are 3 OH groups and 1 COOH
ok but 2 na in naoh reacts with cooh in other questionj

it is clearly an alcohol and a tertiary one as it is mentioned DOES NOT
Try making a tertiary alcohol WITH chiral center
so the center carbon can not be bonded to 2 CH3
the central carbon is bonded to OH,CH3,CH2CH3 and CH2CH2CH3
But that makes a total of 7 carbons
