I did alkane. I hadnot thought of tertiary alcohol at that time.

Oxidation of alkane makes alcohol.
So I think alkane makes more sense.

Alkanes are inert towards laboratory oxidizing agents because they are non-polar and cannot be oxidized to anything by boiling under reflux with an oxidizing agent. the question said that the organic product formed reacted with sodium to liberate hydrogen and alkanes dnt react with sodium either.
