ii. Used as an antiseptic to sterilize wounds.
iii. Oxidation with KMnO4 gives an acid.
As the organic compound is used as an antiseptic to sterilize wounds, it must be an ethanol.
Ethanol (A) undergoes oxidation with KMnO4 to form a carboxylic acid, i.e., ethanoic acid (B)
Thus, A is ethanol and B is ethanoic acid.
