(a)
Interpretation:
The given alcohol is classified as what type of alcohol has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Alcohols are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary depending upon the number of carbon atoms that is bonded to the carbon atom bearing hydroxyl group.
Primary alcohol is the one in which the carbon atom bearing the hydroxyl group is bonded to only one other carbon atom.
Secondary alcohol is the one in which the carbon atom bearing the hydroxyl group is bonded to two other carbon atoms.
Tertiary alcohol is the one in which the carbon atom bearing the hydroxyl group is bonded to three other carbon atoms.
Primary is denoted as
