Solution

The correct option is C Tertiary alcohol
Acetyl chloride reacts with 2 equivalents of Grignard reagent, followed by acid hydrolysis to form tertiary alcohol. For example, benzoyl chloride reacts with two equivalents of methyl magnesium bromide, followed by acid hydrolysis to form tertiary alcohol.
