The correct answer is option 3: Molasses. Molasses is the product used for manufacturing industrial alcohol. Molasses is a by-product derived from the processing of sugarcane or sugar beet into sugar. It is a thick, dark syrup with a high sugar content. Industrial alcohol is produced by fermenting molasses, which contains fermentable sugars, with yeast. During fermentation, yeast breaks down the sugars in molasses into alcohol and carbon dioxide. After fermentation, the mixture is distilled to purify the alcohol, resulting in industrial alcohol. Therefore, molasses is a crucial ingredient in the production of industrial alcohol.
