Solution

The correct option is A diethyl ether
Without the strongly polarized $O - H$ bond, ether molecules cannot engage in hydrogen bonding with each other.
Ethers do have non-bonding electron pairs on oxygen atoms. They can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules like alcohols, amines, etc.
Hence, the correct option is D.
