Question
**Title: 5.7 Fischer Projections**

**Question:**
Assign the configuration of each chiral center in the following stereoisomer of 3-bromo-2-butanol:

**Diagram:**
- A Fischer projection showing a central carbon chain.
- The vertical line represents the carbon chain with the structure:
  - Top Carbon (1): CH₃ group
  - Second Carbon (2): HO on the left, H on the right
  - Third Carbon (3): H on the left, Br on the right
  - Bottom Carbon (4): CH₃ group

**Answer Options:**
- ⃝ 2R, 3S
- ⃝ 2S, 3S
- ⃝ 2S, 3R
- ⃝ 2R, 3R

**Controls:**
- Hint button
- Save for Later button

**Description:**
This exercise requires the determination of the stereochemical configuration (R/S) for each chiral center in the Fischer projection of 3-bromo-2-butanol. The options provided indicate possible configurations for the chiral centers.
