Answer:

A)coupling between 1H nuclei attached to adjacent C atoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word ‘vicinal’ in chemistry means three bonds from the functional groups. The two functional groups are in a relationship with the atoms in adjacent position to them.

The 1H nuclei consists of two Hydrogen nucleus which acts as the functional groups. They are however attached and in a relationship with the adjacent C atoms. This makes option A the right choice.
