Correct answer: This compound is a thiol because it contains the S-H functional group of thiols.
Why?:
A thiol is a sulfur analogue of an alcohol functional group (O-H). Instead of oxygen, it is replaced by a sulfur atom. Thiols are also referred to as mercaptans.
Answering this question:
It can be observed in the structure of the compound that it contains the S-H group attached to the 1st carbon. Therefore, this compound is a thiol.
So this is a thiol because it contains the S-H functional group of thiols.
