  • Butane  $-1-$ ol
  • C
    Propane $-2-$ ol
  • D
    Isopropyl alcohol

Correct option: B.
Butane  $-1-$ ol
b
Isopropyl alcohol and propan$-2-$ol are same.

From the picture, we can conclude that butan$-1-$ol is primary alcohol as $- OH$ group connected to a primary carbon. Rest are secondary alcohol as $- OH$ group is connected to a secondary carbon atom(carbon atom connected to further two carbon atom).
