Q. The structure of the compound that gives a tribromo derivative on treatment with bromine water is

Alcohols Phenols and Ethers

Solution:

Since the compound on treatment with $Br _{2}$ -water gives a tribromo derivative, therefore it must be $m$ -cresol, because it has two ortho and one para position free with respect to $OH$ group and hence can give tribromoderivative.
