I got the result for A (CH3CH2CH2)2O, but I can't determine B because the reaction gives 2 substances ( Ch3CH2CH2COOH and CH3CH2CH2CONH2) so I can't determine C either

The first one is not an ether as you wrote. It will be an acid anhydride. B will be the mixture of acid and amide and C will be an imide.
