(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: For each of the following alcohols, the systematic name is to be stated and these are to be categorized as primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohols.

Concept introduction: An organic compound containing a hydroxyl $\left(\text{OH}\right)$ functional group is termed as an alcohol. The hydroxyl group is present on the aliphatic carbon. According to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry $\left(\text{IUPAC}\right)$, alcohols are named by using the suffix “- $\text{ol}$”. The categorization of an alcohol as primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohols is done on the basis of the carbon attached to $\text{OH}$.

To determine: The name of the alcohol and the categorization of the given alcohol as primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol.
