(C) The reaction of alcohols with alkali metals demonstrates their acidic nature. The reactivity of alcohols towards alkali metals depends on their acidity,which decreases as the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbon bearing the $-OH$ group increases due to the $+I$ effect.The order of reactivity is: $CH_3OH > 	ext{Primary alcohol} > 	ext{Secondary alcohol} > 	ext{Tertiary alcohol}$.Therefore,primary alcohols react most rapidly among the given choices.

Which of the following alcohols reacts most rapidly with alkali metals?
