Detailed Solution

The correct order of acidity is: Primary Alcohol (1⁰⁾ > Secondary Alcohol (2⁰) > Tertiary Alcohol(3⁰).

This is because the strength of the alcohol as an acid is dependent on the corresponding strength of its conjugate base, the alkoxide ion. A more stabilized alkoxide is a weaker conjugate base and hence the alcohol will be more acidic.
