Solution

The correct option is B CO $_{2}$ and water
We have a balanced equation.
$2 C_{2} H_{5} O H (l) + 6 O_{2} (g) \to 4 C O_{2} (g) + 6 H_{2} O (g) + 2, 650 k J$
Hence, from the equation we could understand that ethanol on combustion gives carbon dioxide and water by releasing some amount of energy. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
