Solution

The correct option is B $C H_{3} O C H_{3}$
The compound which does not react with sodium is $C H_{3} O C H_{3}$ (dimethyl ether) as H atom is not attached to electronegative O atom.
$C H_{3} C H (O H) C H_{3}$ (isopropanol) , $C H_{3} C O O H$ (acetic acid) and $C H_{3} C H_{2} O H$ ethanol contain H atom attached to electronegative O atom and thus react with sodium.

Option B is correct.
