Solution
The correct option is DPh−CH2−O−CH2−Ph
(1) Ph–CH2–O–Ph is not the end product because in this synthesis alcohol (Ph−CH2−ONa) is participating - Incorrect.
(2) The end product is ether so this (Ph–CH2–CH2–Ph) is a incorrect option.
(3) Organohalide and a deprotonated alcohol are combined to form an ether –Correct.
(4) The end product is not the carbonyl so this (Ph–CH2–CO–Ph) is a incorrect option.
