A is

A

`(CH_(3))_(2)CHCH_(2)OH`

B

`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH`

C

`(CH_(3))_(3)COH`

D

`CH_(3)CHOHCH_(2)CH_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In the basic medium, the reaction occurs by `S_(N)2` mechanism and the nucleophile, i.e., `H^(-)` ion (from `LiAlH_(4)`) attacks the smaller alkyl group as shown below:
