Solution

The correct option is B ${C H}_{3} O C O {C H}_{2} {C H}_{3}$
Only ethyl accetate undergoes reduction with $L i A l H_{4}$ to give only alcohol, other esters given in option on reduction gives a mixture of alcohols.
${C H}_{3} C O O C H_{2} {C H}_{3} + 2 H_{2} e t h e r - --- \to L i A l H_{4} 2 {C H}_{3} {C H}_{2} O H$
