Which of the following will not produce $CH_4$ gas when reacted with $CH_3MgBr$?

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ Butan$-1-$ol has higher boiling point than ethoxyethane.
Reason $R:$ Extensive hydrogen bonding leads to stronger association of molecules.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ hydroxy compound $(X)$ with molar mass $122 \ g \ mol^{-1}$ is acetylated with acetic anhydride, using a large excess of the reagent ensuring complete acetylation of all hydroxyl groups. The product obtained has a molar mass of $290 \ g \ mol^{-1}$. The number of hydroxyl groups present in compound $(X)$ is :
