The use of alcohol in alcoholic drinks is considered haram (forbidden) in Islam; however, converting it into a non-intoxicating substance can render it halal (permissible). Among the options provided, converting alcohol to acetic acid (vinegar) makes it halal.

Explanation:

1. Acetic Acid (Vinegar): When ethanol (the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages) is oxidized, it is converted into acetic acid. Vinegar is widely accepted in Islamic dietary laws as it is non-intoxicating and has culinary uses.

2. Alkyl Halide: This is a compound derived from alcohol but is not related to making something permissible. It does not render the substance halal.

3. Esters: These are formed from alcohol and acids and can be used in flavors and fragrances, but they do not negate the intoxicating properties of alcohol.

4. Yeast: While yeast is used to ferment sugars into alcohol, it does not transform alcohol into a halal substance.

Thus, among the choices given, the correct conversion of alcohol that is considered halal is to acetic acid (vinegar).
