Solution

The correct option is C Methanol
Methanol is produced during the following reaction
$C O (g) + H_{2} (g) 575 K - ------ \to Z n O, C r_{2} O_{3} C H_{3} O H$ .

A mixture of CO and hydrogen (1:2 molar ratio) is called synthetic gas.

It is heated to a temperature of 573 K in presence of $Z n O / C r_{2} O_{3}$ catalyst to form methanol.

It is industrial method of preparation of methanol.

Option C is correct.
