Correct answer is (c) molasses

For explanation: Carbohydrate sources are used world-wide to produce distilled alcoholic drinks. Rum is prepared from molasses and grapes to produce brandy (fermentable sugar). Barley malt is used to produce whiskey and scotch. Corn is used to produce whiskey (starch and hence requires saccharification throughout the fermentation).
