Adjacent carbons have more than one H atom which causes splitting of peaks in the spectrum. Multiple peaks corresponding to one or more magnetically equivalent atoms are multiplets

A multiplet in proton NMR is caused by spin-spin coupling between neighboring protons. This coupling results in the splitting of a signal into multiple peaks due to the influence of adjacent nuclei with different chemical environments on the resonance frequency of a proton.
