Solution

The correct option is B CH3OCH3
Due to the presence of methyl groups that bounds to oxygen there is less tendency of hydrogen bonding in ethers.
Also, it does not have hydrogen attached to oxygen, so it can not form hydrogen bonds with itself.

The carboxylic acid, alcohol and water being polar show H-bonding.

Option A is correct.
