Vedclass · Answer

(D) Phenols are compounds in which a hydroxyl group $(-OH)$ is directly attached to a carbon atom of an aromatic ring (benzene ring).In options $(A)$,$(B)$,and $(C)$,the $-OH$ group is directly attached to the aromatic ring,making them phenols.In option $(D)$,the $-OH$ group is attached to a side-chain carbon atom (a methylene group,$-CH_2-$) which is then attached to the benzene ring. This compound is classified as an aromatic alcohol (specifically,benzyl alcohol).Therefore,the compound in option $(D)$ is not a phenol.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(A)$ One or more hydroxyl $(-OH)$ groups are directly attached to the carbon of an aliphatic system.	$(1)$ Water
$(B)$ $-OH$ group is directly attached to the carbon of an aromatic system.	$(2)$ Phenol
$(C)$ Alkyl or aryl group replaces the $H$ of the $-OH$ group of alcohol or phenol.	$(3)$ Ether
$(D)$ Hydrogen replaces the $-R$ group of alcohol.	$(4)$ Alcohol
	$(5)$ None
