Solution

The correct option is C Ethanol
Ethanol is used in tincture iodine and cough syrups. Ethanol is an effective topical antiseptic and is used as an ingredient in many mouth washes. It kills micro-organisms on wound surface and in the mouth but its low toxicity does not kill the cells of the skin or mouth tissues.
