Correct Answer - Option 2 : drinking ethyl alcohol

Explanation:

  • Ethanol, anhydrous ethyl alcohol having the chemical formula of C2H5OH, can be produced from sugarcane, maize, wheat, etc which are having high starch content. 
  • In India, ethanol is mainly produced from sugarcane molasses by the fermentation process.
  • Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol) stands for drinking alcohol.
  • The ethanol is mixed with other chemicals to form an undrinkable solution.
  • For many of these solutions, there is no practical way to separate the components.
  • Labels such as "cannot be made non-poisonous" communicate to users that they should not trust any alcohol claiming to be rendered safe by distilling, filtering, or additives.
  • Despite its poisonous content, denatured alcohol is sometimes consumed as surrogate alcohol, which can result in blindness or death if (as was typical) it contains methanol.

So, ‘Drinking alcohol’ stands for drinking ethyl alcohol.

  • Ethanol can be mixed with the gasoline to form different blends.
  • As the ethanol molecule contains oxygen, it allows the engine to completely combust the fuel, resulting in fewer emissions and thereby reducing the occurrence of environmental pollution.
