Final answer:
An alcoholic beverage typically has an alcohol content of at least 1% ABV, so the correct answer is a) 1%.
Step-by-step explanation:
An alcoholic beverage is considered any drink that contains ethanol, also known as alcohol. However, there is no universally agreed upon minimum alcohol content that defines an alcoholic beverage, as some consider anything with more than 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) to be alcoholic. In the context of legal definitions and for the sake of clarity in this question, a typical baseline for an alcoholic beverage is often set at a minimum of 1% ABV. Options like 3%, 5%, and 10% are all definitively within the range of alcoholic beverages, as they exceed the minimum alcohol content mentioned. Thus, the correct answer to this question would be a) 1%.
