Answer:

D) $2-methyl-1-butanol$  is a primary alcohol that is isopentane replaced at position 1 by a hydroxy group. It's a metabolite produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It's a primary alcohol and alkyl alcohol. It's made up of an isopentane hydride.

$RCOH (R=alkyl, aryl)$ is the typical structure of primary alcohols, which contain the primary alcohol functional group.
