Ok i have my answer. But before i show it to you. Youre thinking very laterally. Look at the nunber of H atoms. Then youll realise whats wrong.

The low number of H atoms should suggest either aromatic or alkenes. Since only 4 carbon, it has to have a c=c somewhere. And for complete oxidation that leads to CO2, one side of the alkene has to be a single carbon so that when the bond is oxidised it can turn into co2 while the other side becomes an acid
