Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Compounds which contain carbon and hydrogen atoms are known as organic compounds.

For example, $CH_{2}CH_{2}OH$ is known as ethanol and it is an alcohol as it contains the functional group "-OH".

So, alcohols contains elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

Thus, we can conclude that alcohols are organic compounds that contain carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.
