Solution

The correct option is B ether
This is Williamson ether synthesis.

An alkyl halide is to be primary, so nucleophilic substitution reaction occurs.

Because with tertiary alkyl halides alkenes are formed.

Alkoxides are nucleophiles and strong bases.

The reaction is:
$C_{2} H_{5} C l + C_{2} H_{5} O N a \to C_{2} H_{5} O C_{2} H_{5} + N a C l$

Option A is correct.
