(B) $m$-cresol is $3$-methylphenol,which has a methyl group at the meta position relative to the hydroxyl group.Catechol is benzene-$1,2$-diol,which has two hydroxyl groups at adjacent positions.Resorcinol is benzene-$1,3$-diol,which has two hydroxyl groups at meta positions.Looking at the structures in option $B$:Structure $1$ is $m$-cresol (methyl group at meta position to $-OH$).Structure $2$ is catechol (two $-OH$ groups at ortho positions).Structure $3$ is resorcinol (two $-OH$ groups at meta positions).Therefore,option $B$ correctly identifies the compounds.
