Solution
The correct option is D Ethanol
Aqueous solutions of ethanol can be produced when sugar solutions are fermented using yeast. The fermentation method is used to make alcoholic drinks. Fruit juices, such as grape juice, contains a source of sugar glucose (C6H12O6). When yeast is added it feeds on the sugar in the absence of oxygen to form wine (a solution of ethanol) and carbon dioxide.
First sucrose is converted to glucose and fructose by invertase. Then glucose or fructose gets converted to ethanol in presence of zymase.
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
