Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A(मेथिल एल्कोहॉल)
मेथिल एल्कोहॉल (मेथेनॉल, $CH_3OH$) को 'वुड स्पिरिट' (Wood Spirit) या 'काष्ठ स्पिरिट' भी कहा जाता है, क्योंकि इसे मूल रूप से लकड़ी के भंजक आसवन (destructive distillation of wood) द्वारा प्राप्त किया गया था।
Methanol ($CH_3OH$) was historically produced as a byproduct of the destructive distillation of wood, which is why it is commonly referred to as 'wood spirit' or 'wood alcohol'.
