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. Therefore,the statement that higher alcohols are stronger and have a bitter taste is not a general characteristic of alcohols.
