Solution

The correct options are
A
$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - O - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

B
$C H_{3} - O - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

Ethers are compounds with an alkoxy group. Ethers have a functional group R-O-R'.
$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - O - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$ belongs to the family of ethers because it contains functional group R-O-R'. Its IUPAC name is Ethoxyethane.
$C H_{3} - O - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$ also belongs to the family of ethers. Its IUPAC name is Methoxyethane.
$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C O O H$ belongs to the family of carboxylic acid because it contains the functional group $- C O O H$ .
$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H O$ belongs to the family of aldehyde because it contains the functional group $- C H O$ .
