Answer» Correct Answer - B::C In benzylic alcohols, the -OH group is attached to a `sp^(3)` hybridised carbon atom next to an aromatic ring. In compound (a) and (d), the -OH group is attached to a `sp^(3)` hybridised carbon atom but this carbon is not attached to the benzene ring. On the other hand, in compound (a) and (c), the -OH group is attached to a `sp^(3)` hibridised carbon atom next to an aromatic ring. |
