(D) The structure of glycerol is $CH_2(OH)-CH(OH)-CH_2(OH)$.It contains three $-OH$ groups.The two terminal $-OH$ groups are attached to primary carbon atoms,making them primary $-OH$ groups.The central $-OH$ group is attached to a secondary carbon atom,making it a secondary $-OH$ group.Thus,glycerol contains two primary $-OH$ groups and one secondary $-OH$ group.
