Which compound is tertiary alcohol ?

Alcohols undergo acid catalysed elimination reactions to produce alkenes. Because water is lost in the elimination , this reaction is called dehydration reaction. Secondary and tertiary alcohols always give E1 reaction in dehydration. Primary alcohols whose beta -carbon is branched also give E1 reaction. The reactivity of alcohol for elimination reaction is tertiary alcohol > secondary alcohol > Primary alcohol. Which of the following dehydration product (major ) is incorrect ?

Alcohols undergo acid catalysed elimination reactions to produce alkenes. Because water is lost in the elimination , this reaction is called dehydration reaction. Secondary and tertiary alcohols always give E1 reaction in dehydration. Primary alcohols whose beta -carbon is branched also give E1 reaction. The reactivity of alcohol for elimination reaction is tertiary alcohol gt secondary school gt Primary alcohol. Identify the product in the given reaction :
