Vedclass · Answer

(B) The correct answer is $(B)$. Lower alcohols are typically volatile liquids with a characteristic pungent smell and a burning taste. As the molecular mass increases,the boiling point of alcohols increases due to increased van der Waals forces. Lower alcohols are soluble in water due to hydrogen bonding.
