Compounds A, B, and C which are all alcohols are subjected to the Lucas test. An oily layer was formed almost instantly after the addition of reagents to Compound C. For compound A, it took several minutes before an oily layer was formed. Meanwhile, it took at least one hour with compound B before an oily layer was observed. What could be compound B? Choices: Ethanol Isopropyl alcohol tert-butyl alcohol
