B. `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-overset(OH)overset(|)(C)H-CH_(3)`
C. `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-OH`
D. `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-OH`
A. `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)underset(OH)underset(|)(C)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)`
B. `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-overset(OH)overset(|)(C)H-CH_(3)`
C. `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-OH`
D. `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(CH)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-OH`
Correct Answer – A
`{:(CH_(3)-CH_(2)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)underset(OH)underset(|)(C)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)),(overset(H^(+))toCH_(3)-CH_(2)-overset(CH_(3))overset(|)underset(o+)(C)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)):}`
The more stable carbocation is generated thus more easily it will be dehydrated.
