Benzyl methyl ether has a benzyl group and a methyl group attached to an oxygen atom. The correct structure should have the oxygen atom in the center with the benzyl group (PhCH2) on one side and the methyl group (CH3) on the other side. Choice C shows this structure correctly. Choices A, B, D, and E do not correctly show the attachment of the benzyl and methyl groups to the oxygen atom.
