Solution

The correct option is A $C H_{3} O H$
Methanol, also know as methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, wood naphtma, methylhydrate, or wood spirits is a chemical with the formula $C H_{3} O H$ .
Methanol acquired the name wood alcohol because it was once produced chiefly by the destructive distillation of wood.
Hence the correct option a.
