    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\underset{\text{Sodium}\,\text{ethoxide}}{\mathop{\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{ONa}}}\,\text{+}\underset{\text{Bromo}\,\text{Ethane}}{\mathop{{{\text{C}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}}\text{Br}}}\,\xrightarrow[\text{Synthesis}]{\text{William }\!\!'\!\!\text{ s}}\]\[\underset{\text{Ethoxyethane}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,+NaBr\] Hence, the correct option is [b].
