An unknown organic compound (A) with the molecular formula C9H12O does not decolourize Br2 in CCl4, reacts with sodium to give a colourless, odourless gas and can be oxidised by hot alkaline KMnO4 to give benzoic acid. Then, following test were performed on the compound (A) is given sequence:
Test (a): The colour of the solution changes from orange to green when K2Cr2O7 is added to it.
Test (b): The compound can be resolved.
Test (c): No yellow precipitate of CHl3 is formed when reacted with l2 and OH.
Test (d): Oxidation of the compound with CrO3 in pyridine gives another compound that gives Tollen's test.

The structure assigned to compound (A) after the test (d) would be
