An alcohol X on heating with concentrated H2SO4\mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm { SO } _ { 4 }gives an alkene Y which can show geometrical isomers the alcohol X is

A

CH3CH2CH(OH)CH3\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { CH } _ { 2 } \mathrm { CH } ( \mathrm { OH } ) \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 }

B

(CH3)2C(OH)CH(CH3)2\left( \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \right) _ { 2 } \mathrm { C } ( \mathrm { OH } ) \mathrm { CH } \left( \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \right) _ { 2 }

C

(CH3)3C(OH)\left( \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \right) _ { 3 } \mathrm { C } ( \mathrm { OH } )
