Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
¹H NMR Spectroscopy
¹H NMR (Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy is a technique used to determine the structure of organic compounds by analyzing the magnetic environment of hydrogen atoms. It provides information about the number of hydrogen environments, their chemical shifts, and the splitting patterns due to neighboring hydrogens, which helps in deducing the molecular structure.

Chemical Shift
Chemical shift in ¹H NMR refers to the resonant frequency of a hydrogen nucleus relative to a standard reference, typically tetramethylsilane (TMS). It is influenced by the electronic environment surrounding the hydrogen atom, with shifts indicating different types of chemical environments, such as aliphatic, aromatic, or adjacent to electronegative atoms.

Spin-Spin Coupling
Spin-spin coupling in ¹H NMR results in the splitting of NMR signals into multiplets, providing information about the number of neighboring hydrogen atoms. The pattern and number of peaks in a multiplet follow the n+1 rule, where n is the number of adjacent hydrogens, helping to elucidate the connectivity and structure of the molecule.
