Solution

The correct option is B $O C O C H_{3}$
In the given options, option D gives $2 °$ carbocation with resonance stabilization. Therefore leaving a nucleophile and intermediate forms easily. In the option C, $1 °$ carbocation forms.
A and B forms nucleophiles- which are not intermediate as shown in the figure.
