The infrared spectrum of the starting material (2-methylcyclohexanone) will have a peak present at , which will be absent in the product (2-methylcyclohexanol).

1710 cm^-1

Explanation:

The Infrared spectrum of the starting material  will have a peak present at 1710 cm^-1.  this is because

2-methylcyclohexanone has a ketone group (C=O) which will be  reduced to an alcohol group (O-H), in the product i.e. (2-methylcyclohexanol). therefore the peak for the stretching vibration of the ketone carbonyl (C=O) is present only in the starting material only .and  The peak for the stretching is at 1710 cm^-1

i think   the answer is c hope i'm right
