Solution

The correct option is D $C H_{3} C O O H$
Due to the presence of methyl groups that bound to oxygen on both the side in dimethyl ether, there is no hydrogen bonding in $C H_{3} O C H_{3}$
Also, It does not have hydrogen attached to oxygen, so it can not form hydrogen bonds with itself.
Alcohols, water and carboxylic acid have $- O H$ which can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
Option (b), (c) and (d) are correct
