Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Allylic alcohol

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In primary allylic alcohols, hydroxyl group is bonded to a \(\mathrm{sp}^3\) hybridized primary carbon atom next to a carbon-carbon double bond. Hence, Crotonyl alcohol \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}\right)\) is a primary allylic alcohol.
