Primary alcohol produces primary carbocation, secondary alcohol produces secondary carbocation and tertiary alcohol gives tertiary carbocation.
So, tertiary alcohol will dehydrate easily.
Hence, option
C
is correct.

Benzyl alcohol
Explanation
Halogenation in the presence of light follows free radical pathway and thus will react with the alkyl group to give haloalkyl.
Thus formed haloalkyl in the presence of alkaline medium will undergo substitution reaction and will form alcohol by replacing halogen atom in the haloalkyl group.
