Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know the functional group present in a molecule the suffix at the end helps in determining it.

Hence, in methanol suffix is 'ol'.

Therefore, the functional group present in methanol is the hydroxyl group, that is, OH group is present.

Thus, we can conclude that functional group is found in methanol is -OH.
