Solution

Figure
Ethers are readily cleaved by action of $\mathrm{HI}$ to form alcohol and alkyl halide. $R-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{R}+\mathrm{HX} \longrightarrow \mathrm{RX}+\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{OH}$ If excess of halogen acid is used, then alcohol formed reacts further with halogen acid to produce alkyl halide.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
