Solution

The correct option is A functional isomers
Alkoxyalkane is the IUPAC name for ethers with molecular formula : $C_{n} H_{2 n + 2} O$
Alkanols are alcohols.
Isomers :
1) $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - O H \to$ ethanol
2) $C H_{3} - O - C H_{3} \to$ methoxymethane

Both have the same number of carbons but different functional groups. So, they are functional isomers.

Option A is correct.
