Correct Option: A

Methanol is also known as methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, wood naphtha or wood spirits. It acquired the name "wood alcohol" because it was once produced chiefly as a byproduct of the destructive distillation of wood. Modern methanol is produced in a catalytic industrial process directly from carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen.
