  • A
    pentanol
  • B
    $2-$ methyl butanol
  • C
    $2-$ pentanol
  • $2-$ methyl butan $-2-$ ol

Answer

Correct option: D.
$2-$ methyl butan $-2-$ ol
d
$ZnCl_2 +$ cone . $HCl$ is Lucas reagent . Lucas reagent reacts fastest with tertiary alcohol. $3^o$ alcohol $+$ Lucas reagent $=$ Immediate turbidity
