Step-by-step solution

Analyzing each reaction for alcohol production:
Reaction A: CH4+O2→Mo2O3,ΔCH_4 + O_2 \xrightarrow{Mo_2O_3, \Delta} produces formaldehyde, not alcohol.
Reaction B: 2CH3CH3+3O2→(CH3COO)2Mn,Δ2CH_3CH_3 + 3O_2 \xrightarrow{(CH_3COO)_2Mn, \Delta} produces acetic acid, not alcohol.
Reaction C: (CH3)3CH→KMnO4(CH_3)_3CH \xrightarrow{KMnO_4} tert-butyl compound undergoes oxidation to produce tert-butyl alcohol as the primary product.
Reaction D: 2CH4+O2→Cu/523K/100atm2CH_4 + O_2 \xrightarrow{Cu/523K/100atm} produces methanol (CH₃OH), a primary alcohol.
Reaction E: The diene compound with KMnO4/H+KMnO_4/H^+ produces vicinal diol, which is technically an alcohol but not a simple monoalcohol.
The reactions that predominantly produce alcohols as main products are C and D.
