The carbon in CO2 is in the +4 oxidation state, while the carbon in glucose (C6H12O6) has an oxidation state of zero.!!

Technically, B would be correct. Some of the water would vaporise and then condense as it rose up the apparatus. However, the amount of vaporised water would be very small. Practically, the difference in percentage concentration of ethanol would be so small as to be insignificant.
This should have been an explanation question.
