Boiling point of `CH_(3)CH_(2)OH(351 K)` is much higher than that of isomeric ether `(CH_(3))_(2)O(248K)`. This indicates
A. hydrogen bonds are much stronger intermolecular attractions than dipole-dipole attractions
B. dipole-dipole attractions are much stronger than hydrogen bonds
C. `(CH_(3))_(2)O` has two hydrophobic groups while `CH_(3)CH_(2)OH` has one
D. `(CH_(3))_(2)O` has two hydrophilic groups while `CH_(3)CH_(2)OH` has one

Correct Answer - A
There is no H-bonding in ether. Since, H-bonding have much stronger interaction than dipole-dipole attractions.
