Cannabinoids consist of a  that consists of a benzene ring with two hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to it connected to an alkyl side chain and hence called resorcinol ring . The resorcinol ring has three hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a benzene ring. The length and structure of the alkyl side chain can vary, contributing to the diverse properties of different cannabinoids. Additionally, cannabinoids also contain a terpene moiety, which is usually a 10-carbon or 15-carbon unit. Overall, the structure of cannabinoids is characterized by the combination of the resorcinol ring, alkyl side chain, and terpene component.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
