Which of the following functional groups is likely to be present in a molecule that has peaks in the infrared spectrum at 1000-1250 cm^-¹ (strong), but does not have peaks 3200-3650 at 1630-1820 or cm^-¹?

Question

The strong peak at 1000-1250 cm^-1 suggests the presence of a C-O stretch, which is characteristic of ethers. The absence of peaks in the 3200-3650 cm^-1 range rules out alcohols, and the absence of peaks in the 1630-1820 cm^-1 range rules out carbonyl-containing groups like aldehydes, ketones, and esters.
