Which of the following statements about the compound shown are correct?

AThe parent hydrocarbon is bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane.
BThe hydroxyl group is cited as the prefix hydroxy.
CThe carbon carrying the OH is C2 and it also carries the methyl group.
DThe one-carbon bridge C7 carries no substituent.

Answer: A, C, D

The compound is 2-methylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol. Alcohol is the principal group, so it is expressed as the suffix -ol and its carbon gets the lowest possible locant, 2 (next to bridgehead C1). The methyl is on the same carbon, and C7 is an unsubstituted CH2.
