(B) $1$. Ethanol is a very weak acid,much weaker than water. It does not react with bases like $NaHCO_{3}$ or $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ and does not change the color of litmus paper. $2$. However,it reacts with active metals like sodium $(Na)$ to evolve hydrogen gas $(H_{2})$,which confirms its acidic hydrogen atom. $3$. The reaction is: $2C_{2}H_{5}OH + 2Na \rightarrow 2C_{2}H_{5}ONa + H_{2} \uparrow$
