Answer: C
Lucas reagent converts alcohols to alkyl chlorides through carbocations, so the rate follows carbocation stability, 3∘>2∘>1∘. Only the tertiary alcohol, 2-methylpropan-2-ol, reacts at once to give insoluble (CHX3)X3C−Cl and turbidity. Butan-2-ol needs about 5 minutes and the primary alcohols do not react at room temperature.
