Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

In order to identify the different types of alcohol

  • Identify the Carbon with the OH Group: Find the carbon atom that has the hydroxyl group (OH) attached to it.
  • Count the Carbon Bonds: Count how many carbon atoms are directly bonded to that carbon atom.
  • Classify the Alcohol:
    • If the carbon with the OH group is bonded to one other carbon, it's a primary alcohol.
    • If the carbon with the OH group is bonded to two other carbons, it's a secondary alcohol.
    • If the carbon with the OH group is bonded to three other carbons, it's a tertiary alcohol.
