Solution

The correct option is A Ether, ester
1. Ethyl alcohol gives diethyl ether by acid catalysed condensation reaction.
2C2H5OHconc.H2SO4−−−−−−140oCC2H5OC2H5(B)+H2O
2. Action of carbon monoxide on diethyl ether is shown in the following reaction.
C2H5OC2H5+COBF3/150oC−−−−−−900atmC2H5COOC2H5(C)
Hence, the functional groups in B and C are ether and ester respectively.
