Solution

The correct option is A Ethanol
Solution:- (C) Ethanol
Since $O$ is more elctronegative than $N$ in ethylamine and ammonia. Thus ethanol will have maximum hydrogen bonding. On the other hand, in case of diethyl ether, there will be no hydrogen bonding as the $H$ atom is not attached to the electronegative atom directly.
Hence ethanol will have maximum hydrogen bonding among the given compounds.
