The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Possible alcohol isomers of $C_4 H_{10}O$ is $4$.
$(i) CH_3CH_2CH_2OH$
$1$-butanol ($n$-butyl alcohol)
$(ii) \,CH_3CH_2 - \underset{\overset{|}{O}{H}}{C} H - CH_3$
$2$-butanol (sec-butyl alcohol)
$(iii)\, (CH_3)_2 CHCH_2OH$
$2$-methyl-l-propanol (iso-butyl alcohol)
$2$-methyl-$2$-propanol (t-butyl alcohol)
$(i) CH_3CH_2CH_2OH$
$1$-butanol ($n$-butyl alcohol)
$(ii) \,CH_3CH_2 - \underset{\overset{|}{O}{H}}{C} H - CH_3$
$2$-butanol (sec-butyl alcohol)
$(iii)\, (CH_3)_2 CHCH_2OH$
$2$-methyl-l-propanol (iso-butyl alcohol)
$2$-methyl-$2$-propanol (t-butyl alcohol)

What is Alcohol?
Alcohol is a derivative of water (H2O) that has one, two, or more hydroxyl groups that are attached to a carbon atom of a hydrocarbon chain (an alkyl group). It is one of the most common organic compounds used in sweeteners, fragrances, and medicine.

Uses of Alcohol:
- Ethanol is the alcohol used in alcoholic drinks. It can be used as an industrial methylated spirit where methanol is used very little in quantity as it can be dangerous.
- It is used as fuel to produce carbon dioxide and water by the process of fermentation. Whereas methanol burns carbon dioxide and water to facilitate combustion.
- Alcohol is an organic compound used as a solvent that is insoluble in water.
- It can be used to lower the level of sugar.
- Alcohol is used as a preservative in laboratories.
