The correct answer is option A: acetone.

For a substance to be classified as an alcohol it must posses the -OH functional group. Compounds that posses this -OH functional group usually have the ending -ol.

Acetone is a ketone, this is evidenced by the ending -one. It has the functional group -C=O.

Hence, acetone is not alcohol. The structure of acetone is shown in the image attached.
