The correct answer is
Small amounts of dilute ethanol cause drunkenness, whereas absolute alcohol can be lethal

Ethanol Consumption Effects

Understanding the effects of consuming ethanol requires differentiating between its concentration (dilute vs. absolute) and the amount consumed.

Diluted Ethanol Effects

Diluted ethanol, commonly found in alcoholic beverages, can cause intoxication or drunkenness even in small quantities. The effects depend on factors like dosage, individual tolerance, and consumption speed.

Absolute Alcohol Effects

Absolute alcohol (nearly 100% pure ethanol) is highly concentrated and toxic. Consuming even relatively small amounts can lead to severe poisoning and can be lethal.

Conclusion

Option B accurately contrasts these effects: small amounts of dilute ethanol lead to drunkenness, while absolute alcohol poses a significant lethal risk.
