What is the order of dehydration of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols?

Primary , secondary and tertiary alcohols can be distinguished hy

Acidic dehydration of the following alcohols is in the order :

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 ?
