Answer:

Tertiary butyl alcohol

Explanation:

Amongst isomeric alcohols, the solubility increases with branching. This is due to the reason that as the branching increases, the surface area of the non-polar hydrocarbon and the solubility increases. So, the sequence of solubility of alcohols are  

Tertiary alcohol > secondary alcohol > primary alcohol
