 Only one alcohol contains chiral carbon atom.
  1. $\ce{CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2OH}$
  2. $\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{CH}_3 \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ | \\ \text{CH}_3 - \text{C} - \text{OH} \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ | \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{CH}_3$
  3. $\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH} - \text{CH}_3 \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ | \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{OH}$
Only $III$ is chiral in nature.
