The task is to analyze the final product D, which is derived from a series of reactions involving acetic acid, and predict the number of distinct hydrogen signals observable in its 1H NMR spectrum. The answer is determined to be 7 distinct signals, indicating the presence of different hydrogen environments in the molecule."}
