To solve this problem, we need to understand the reaction of alcohols with Lucas reagent.Lucas reagent is a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride (ZnCl).The reaction rate with Lucas reagent depends on the type of alcohol:• Tertiary alcohols react almost instantaneously.• Secondary alcohols react within a few minutes.• Primary alcohols take a long time to react.Let's analyze the given options:Option 1: (CH)CH-CHOH is a secondary alcohol.Option 2: (CH)C(OH)(CH) is a tertiary alcohol.Option 3: CH-CH-CH-CHOH is a primary alcohol.Option 4: CH-CH-CH(OH)-CH is a secondary alcohol.Since tertiary alcohols react instantaneously with Lucas reagent, the correct answer is Option 2.
