Which of the following are common alcoholic beverages that contain ethanol alcohol and are widely consumed in many cultures?

Introduction / Context:
This question checks basic awareness of what counts as an alcoholic beverage. Alcoholic drinks contain ethanol produced by fermentation of sugars by yeasts. Many different beverages fall into this category, and exam questions often ask which items from a list are alcoholic.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Wine, cider, and beer are commonly known drink names.
• The stem asks for common alcoholic beverages.
• No special or regional definitions are being used, only standard food and nutrition knowledge.
• We assume that alcoholic content is due to ethanol produced by fermentation.

Concept / Approach:
All three named drinks, wine, cider, and beer, are classic examples of fermented alcoholic beverages. Wine is produced from fermented grape juice or other fruits, beer is produced by fermenting malted grains such as barley with hops, and cider is produced by fermenting fruit juice, commonly apple juice. Because each item is an alcoholic drink, the option that correctly summarizes the list is the one that states that all of them are alcoholic beverages.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
You can cross check this by thinking of how these drinks are regulated. In most countries, wine, cider, and beer are regulated under laws controlling alcoholic drinks. They have age restrictions for purchase and consumption, and they are not sold as non alcoholic beverages unless specially prepared as alcohol free versions.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Option a alone is incomplete. Wine is alcoholic, but the question asks about common alcoholic beverages and other examples are also valid.
• Option b alone is incomplete since cider is alcoholic, but it is not the only correct example.
• Option c alone is incomplete because beer is alcoholic, yet the other drinks also meet the condition.

Common Pitfalls:
Sometimes, students may be more familiar with wine and beer and may not be sure about cider. This uncertainty can tempt them to avoid the all of the above option. Remember that cider is made by fermentation of fruit juice and that fermented drinks with ethanol are alcoholic drinks. Understanding the basic fermentation process helps reduce confusion.

Final Answer:
All of the above
