Compounds $$\mathrm{A}$$ and $$\mathrm{B}$$, having the same molecular formula $$(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_8 \mathrm{O})$$, react separately with $$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{MgBr}$$, followed by reaction with dil. $$\mathrm{HCl}$$ to form compounds $$\mathrm{X}$$ and $$\mathrm{Y}$$ respectively. Compound $$\mathrm{Y}$$ undergoes acidic dehydration in presence of Conc. $$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$$ much more readily than $$\mathrm{X}$$. Compound $$\mathrm{Y}$$ also reacts with Lucas reagent, much more readily than $$\mathrm{X}$$, with appearance of turbidity. Identify $$\mathrm{X}$$ and $$\mathrm{Y}$$.

A
$$ \mathrm{X}=\text { Pentan }-1-\mathrm{ol} \quad \mathrm{Y}=\text { Pentan }-2-\mathrm{ol} $$
B
$$ \mathrm{X}=\text { Butan-2-ol } \quad \mathrm{Y}=\text { 2-Methylpropan-2-ol } $$
C
$$ \mathrm{X}=\text { Pentan-1-ol } \quad \mathrm{Y}=2-\text { Methylpentan-2-ol } $$
D
$$ \mathrm{X}=\text { Pentan-2-ol } \quad \mathrm{Y}=2 \text {-Methylbutan-2-ol } $$
