Options

A. mixture of secondary and tertiary alcohols
B. mixture of primary and secondary alcohols
C. secondary or tertiary alcohol
D. primary alcohol

Answer

C

Explanation

`CH_(2)=CH_(2) overset(H_(2)O //H^(+)) rarr underset(1^(@)" alcohol")(CH_(3)CH_(2)OH)`
`CH_(3)-CH=CH_(2) overset(H_(2)O //H^(+))rarr CH_(3)underset(OH)underset("| ")"CH"CH_(3)`
`2^(@)` alcohol through `2^(@)` carbocation `(CH_(3)overset(o+)CHCH_(3))`
`CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset("| ")"C "=CH_(2) overset(H_(2)O //H^(+))rarr (CH_(3))_(3)COH`
`3^(@)` alcohol through `3^(@)` carbocation `(CH_(3))` carbocation `(CH_(3))_(3)overset(o+)C`
