ATP is a small molecule used in cells as a co enzyme. It is often referred to as the molecular unit of currency of intra cellular energy transfer and is critically involved in maintaining cell structure.
Extra cellular ATP is a signalling molecule , and also important in signal transduction processes.
It is important in the synthesis of RNA and DNA. Amino acid activation during protein synthesis also uses ATP as an energy source.

Answer:
Ethanol is most likely to be a (B), competitive inhibitor.
Explanation:
The poisoing occurs because of the harmful metabolites produced by the alcohol dehydrogenases, enzymes in charge of breaking down alcohol.
Hence, the most likely strategy of an antidote is to compete for the active site of the enzyme and prevent the methanol convertion to harmful chemicals.
Ethanol does not produce these metabolites and it is preferentially proccessed by the body, so it is a competitive inhibitor, competing for the active site.
