(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.

Column-$I$ (Name)	Column-$II$ ($C-O$ bond length) and Column-$III$ ($C-O-H$ angle)
$A$. Methanol	$1$. $141 \ pm$,$i$. $109^o$
$B$. Phenol	$2$. $136 \ pm$,$ii$. $111.7^o$
$C$. Methoxymethane	$3$. $142 \ pm$,$iii$. $108.9^o$

Column-$I$	Column-$II$ (Common Name)	Column-$III$ ($\text{IUPAC}$ Name)
$(A)$ Phenol	$(1)$ Resorcinol	$(i)$ Benzene$-1,2-$diol
$(B)$ Benzene$-1,3-$diol	$(2)$ Catechol	(ii) Phenol
$(C)$ Benzene$-1,2-$diol	$(3)$ Phenol	(iii) Benzene$-1,4-$diol
$(D)$ Benzene$-1,4-$diol	$(4)$ Hydroquinone	(iv) Benzene$-1,3-$diol

Identify $m$-cresol $(A)$,catechol $(B)$ and resorcinol $(C)$ from the following structures:
