Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Possible structure of alcholes with moleculan formula `C_4H_10O` are
`underset("Butan-1-ol ")(CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2OH)underset("Butan-2-ol")(CH_3CH_2-overset(CH_2)overset(**|)"CH"-OH`
`underset("text-Butyl alcohol ")(CH_3-underset(CH_3)underset(|)overset(CH_3)overset(|)C-OH)`
Thus only is chiral in nature
