(D) The dehydration of $2-$butanol $(CH_3-CH_2-CH(OH)-CH_3)$ in the presence of an acid catalyst follows $E1$ mechanism.According to $Saytzeff$ rule, the more substituted alkene is the major product.$CH_3-CH_2-CH(OH)-CH_3$ $\xrightarrow{H^+, \Delta} CH_3-CH_2-CH=CH_2 	ext{ (} 1-	ext{butene, minor)} + CH_3-CH=CH-CH_3 	ext{ (} 2-	ext{butene, major)}$.Thus, both $1-$butene and $2-$butene are formed.
