The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Dimethyl ether is an ether with the formula \(CH_3-O-CH_3\). 

Ethers have the general formula R-O-R', where R and R' are alkyl groups. 

(1) \(CH_3-CO-CH_3 \)is propanone (acetone), a ketone. 
(2) \(CH_3-O-CH_3 \)is dimethyl ether, an ether. 
(3) It's unclear what structure this is (likely a ester derivative or incorrect form). 
(4) Acetic Acid derivative or incorrect form. 

Therefore, the correct answer is (2).
