Solution

The correct option is B
$(C H_{3})_{3} C - O H$

Isomers are the compounds having the same molecular formula but different physical and chemical properties. Diethyl ether has a molecular formula of $C_{4} H_{10} O$ .

$(C H_{3})_{2} C H O H$ has molecular formula $C_{3} H_{8} O$

$(C H_{3})_{3} C - O H$ has molecular formula $C_{4} H_{10} O$

$C_{3} H_{2} O H$ has molecular formula $C_{3} H_{3} O$

$(C_{2} H_{5})_{2} C H O H$ has molecular formula $C_{5} H_{12} O$

The molecular formula for Diethyl ether and $(C H_{3})_{3} C - O H$ is same. Therefore, both of them are isomers.
