The correct option is: (b)

Explanation:

Lucas test will be given by all the given alcohols within 5 minutes as all are 2° alcohols. Exact structure can be known by molecular mass or formula of alcohol which will be obtained as follows: Let molecular mass of alcohol be M.

The general formula of alcohols is CnH2n+1OH.

The molecular mass 88 corresponds to the value of n = 5. Thus, the 2° alcohol is (CH3)2CHCHOHCH3.
