Q. Among the following the most stable compound is

Alcohols Phenols and Ethers

Solution:

Trans configuration is more stable than cis configuration. Again between $1,2$ -and $1,3$ -configurations, in $1,3$ -the $OH $ groups are placed further apart to minimise the repulsion. Hence, more stable is $1,3$ -configuration.
