Solution

The correct option is A $C H_{3} O H$
Only $C H_{3} O H$ has hydrogen connected to an electronegative element, this enables it for hydrogen bonding with water. Others have $C l$ connected to carbon, which makes the bond less polar, disqualifies $C l$ from showing any H bonding, (moreover, only a few cases are observed where $C l$ shows H Bonding).
Thus, restricting them to a weak polar or Van der Waal's interactions.
