View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
C2H5OH<C3H7OH<CH3OH{\mathrm{C}_2}{\mathrm{H}_5}\mathrm{OH} < {\mathrm{C}_3}{\mathrm{H}_7}\mathrm{OH} < C{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{OH}
Option C (C2H5OH<C3H7OH<CH3OH{\mathrm{C}_2}{\mathrm{H}_5}\mathrm{OH} < {\mathrm{C}_3}{\mathrm{H}_7}\mathrm{OH} < C{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{OH}) is correct because methanol is metabolized into formaldehyde and formic acid, which are highly toxic, while ethanol and propanol are less toxic in comparison.
