An alcohol (A) on heating with concentrated `H_(2)SO_(4)` gives alkene (B) as major product and (B) can shown the geometrical isomerism . The compound (A) is `:`

A

`(CH_(3))_(2) C(OH)CH(CH_(3))_(2)`

B

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

C

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

D

All the above.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
It is corect answer.
`CH_(3)CH_(2)underset(OH)underset(|)(CH)CH_(3)overset(H_(2SO_(4)))underset("heat")rarrCH_(3)CH=CHCH_(3)`
It can exhibit geometrical isomerism.
