Correct answer

B. What is the main reason for the different reactivities of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols in the Lucas test?

Step-by-step solution

Key Idea Presence of electron withdrawing substituent increases the acidity while electron releasing substituent, when present, decreases the acidity. Phenyl is an electron withdrawing substituent while −CH3-\mathrm{CH}_3 is an electron releasing substituent. Moreover, phenoxide ion is more resonance stabilised as compared to benzyloxide ion, thus releases proton more easily. That's why is a strong acid among the given.
