The correct option is B $C_{2} H_{5} O H$
Zymase is an enzyme complex that catalyzes the fermentation of sugar into ethanol and carbon dioxide. It occurs naturally in yeasts. Zymase activity varies among yeast strains.
Fermentation is a form of anaerobic respiration in which carbohydrates are incompletely oxidised to either ethanol ( $C_{2} H_{5} O H$ ) and carbon dioxide as in yeast or lactic acid, as in the muscles of higher vertebrates.
