Why is the answer C? I thought the hydrogen can only couple with other hydrogen that are 3 bonds away. According to the answer sheet given by my professor the Hydrogen can couple with the ortho and meta position but this does not make sense because the meta position is 4 bonds away which violates the rule states earlier. Is there something that I'm not understanding?

Problem \#13 Which one of the following best represents the predicted approximate chemical shift and coupling for the hydrogen(s) indicated with the arrow in the compound nicotine? A) 6.00ppm, singlet B) 5.00ppm. doublet C) 7.00ppm, multiplet D) 9.00ppm, triplet E) none of these choices
