A. oak with an extremely high alcohol content, it would be about 185 proof, which is strong enough to fuel an internal combustion engine...usage of "would" is nonsensical ...Incorrect
B. oak with an alcohol content that would be about 185 proof, it is strong enough to fuel an internal combustion engine...Same as A...Incorrect
C. oak, it has an alcohol content of about 185 proof, which is strong enough to fuel an internal combustion engine....Correct
D. oak, if it were used to fuel an internal combustion engine, it would have an alcohol content of about 185 proof...changes meaning...Incorrect
E. oak, it has an alcohol content of about 185 proof, which would be as strong as that of an internal combustion engine....Same as D...incorrect
