  • A. Methanol
  • B. Ethanol
  • C. Propanol
  • D. Ascorbic acid
Correct Answer: Option A - Formaldehyde (HCHO), also called methanal, an organic compound, the simplest of the aldehydes, used in large amounts in a variety of chemical manufacturing processes. It is produced principally by the vapour - phase oxidation of methanol and is commonly sold as formalin, a 37 - 40% aqueous solution.
