Options

  1. AA, C and E Only
  2. BA and D Only
  3. CC and D Only
  4. DB, D and E Only

Correct answer

C. C and D Only

Step-by-step solution

Analyzing each reaction for alcohol production: Reaction A: CH₄ + O₂ Mo₂O₃, produces formaldehyde, not alcohol. Reaction B: 2CH₃CH₃ + 3O₂ (CH₃COO)₂Mn, produces acetic acid, not alcohol. Reaction C: (CH₃)₃CH KMnO₄ tert-butyl compound undergoes oxidation to produce tert-butyl alcohol as the primary product. Reaction D: 2CH₄ + O₂ Cu/523K/100atm produces methanol (CH₃OH), a primary alcohol. Reaction E: The diene compound with KMnO₄/H^+ produces vicinal diol, which is technically an alcohol but not a simple monoalcohol.
