A.
Methyl acetate
B.
Acetonitrile
C.
Dimethyl ether
D.
Acetamide
Answer :
Dimethyl ether

Dimethyl ether does not show nucleophilic attack due to absence of multiple bond.
Other compounds have multiple bonded $$C$$-atom and bears partial positive charges, therefore they undergo nucleophilic attack by $$O{H^ - }$$ $$ions.$$
