Lucas test is used for separation of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols. Reagent anhydrous zinc chloride with HCl is used as it absorbs water and acts as a dehydrating agent.The correct option is 'A'.

$C_{2} H_{5} O H + H C l Z n C l_{2} \to C_{2} H_{5} C l + H_{2} O$
In this reaction, anhydrous $Z n C l_{2}$ act as:

dehydrating agent
dehydrogenating agent
dehalogenating agent
dehydrohalogenating agent
