Answer:

Ethanol.

Explanation:

Reduction of ethanal (acetaldehyde) to ethane or ethanol can be done by two methods. Clemmensen reagent and lithium aluminium hydride are used to prepare ethane and ethanol respectively. Carbonyl carbon atom in ethanal molecule is reduced to -1 and -3 oxidation states when ethane and ethanol are prepared respectively.
