Which of the following are benzylic alcohols?

$I . C_{6} H_{5} - {CH}_{2} - {CH}_{2} OH$

$I I . C_{6} H_{5} - {CH}_{2} OH$

$III . C_{6} H_{5} - \underset{|}{C}$
${CH}_{3} H - OH$

$I V . C_{6} H_{5} - {CH}_{2} - \underset{|}{C}$
${CH}_{3} H - OH$

Choose the correct option
1. (I, II)
2. (II, III)
3. (III, IV)
4. (I, IV)

In benzylic alcohols, the — OH group is attached to a ${sp}^{3}$ hybridised carbon atorn next to an aromatic ring. in compound (a) and (d), the — OH group is attached to a ${sp}^{3}$ hybridised carbon atom but this carbon is not attached to the benzene ring.

On the other hand, in compound (a) and (c), the —OH group is attached to a ${sp}^{3}$ hybridised carbon atom next to an aromatic ring.
