sorry thank you so much omg
b is a secondary alcohol (-OH bonded to a C with 2 -R groups) so will be oxidised into a ketone.
c is also a secondary alcohol so will again be oxidised into a ketone.

Butan-1-ol is a primary alcohol, so partial oxidation will create an aldehyde (butanal). This is done by distillation.

see this first bit for the partial oxidation of butan-1-ol
primary alcohol first oxidised to an aldehyde and then further oxidised to a carboxylic acid
...more to follow
