The correct answer is option D, please review the options again. The order of increasing preference of function groups are alcohol group, ketones group, aldehydes group and carboxylic group. The highest preference is the carboxylic group. For this problem, we start counting from the OH group.
Hope this helps, please keep up the good work...

Therefore D should be the correct answer and not C
