Solution
The correct option is C Sodium terliary butoxide & ethyl bromide
It is a simple example of Williamson’s ether synthesis.
Alkyl halides on treatment with an alkoxide ion tend to undergo substitution to form ethers.
Thus, sodium tertiary butoxide & ethyl bromide is the right choice.
(CH3)3 CO−Na++CH3 CH2 Br→(CH3)3–C–O–CH2 CH3+Na Br
