    B)  Ethanol

    C)  Propanol

    D)  Methanol

    E)  Isopropanol

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Reactivity order of alcohols towards\[ZnC{{l}_{2}}\]and cone.\[HCl\]is ter. Alcohol > sec alcohol > pri alcohol Trimethyl carbinol is\[C{{H}_{3}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,OH\]. It is tertiary alcohol.
