Explanation
Option A: 12% alcohol is the typical alcohol content of beer. Option B: 24% alcohol is the typical alcohol content of wine. Option C: Rectified spirit has a percentage of alcohol of 95%. It is a type of ethanol that has been purified through a process called rectification. Rectification is a distillation process that separates ethanol from water. The ethanol is then concentrated to a high level of purity. Rectified spirit is often used as a solvent in industrial applications. It is also used in the production of alcoholic beverages, such as vodka and gin. However, it is not safe to drink rectified spirit because it can be toxic. Option D: 100% alcohol is pure ethanol.

About Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are classified as primary, secondary or tertiary and studied through their hydrogen bonding, acidity, oxidation and reactions with active metals, acids and halogenating agents. Phenols require separate treatment because the hydroxyl group is attached to an aromatic ring, making their acidity and electrophilic substitution different from ordinary alcohols.
