Solution

The correct option is A methanol
Isomers have same molecular formula but differ in their structures or in spatial arrangement.
$\begin{matrix} C o m p o u n d & S t r u c t u r a l & M o l e c u l a r f o r m u l a E t h a n o l & C_{2} H_{5} O H & C_{2} H_{6} O D i m e t h y l e t h e r & C H_{3} O C H_{3} & C_{2} H_{6} O \end{matrix}$

Both have same molecular formula. Therefore, they are isomers.
