Complete Step by step answer:
Molasses is a general name used for concentrated juice from sugarcane or we call sugar beet or raw cane sugar in a concentrated solution after varying amounts of sucrose have been removed.
The uncrystallized syrup left behind in the form of brown viscous liquid is molasses. At the time of manufacture of ethyl alcohol, the fermented matter is called wort.

Wort is the liquid which is extracted from the mashing process at the time of brewing of beer or whisky as Wort contains the sugars which is one of the most important being maltose. In addition sugar, which is mostly sucrose, molasses contains a very high concentration of vitamins and minerals, thus, act as an excellent feedstock for the fermentation process as there is no additional medium supplementation is usually needed.

Hence the correct option is b.

Note: There are many Uses of Molasses such as to make sugar, used in baking and cooking as common sweeteners. High-test molasses is the product which is obtained by using concentrated clarified cane juice and it is partially inverted that means it is either acid or an invertase enzyme. So the High-test molasses is produced from the cane juice instead of sugar and not as a byproduct of sugar production.
