Solution

The correct option is D Positional Isomeris
Metamerism:
It is due to unequal distribution of carbon atoms on either side of the functional group in the molecule of compounds having same functional group
$C_{4} H_{10} O$
$C H_{3} - O - C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{3}$
$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - O - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$
Functional isomerism:
The compounds having same molecular formula dut bdifferent functinal groups.
$C H_{3} C H_{2} - O - C H_{2} C H_{3} E t h e r; C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{2} O H A l c o h o l$
Chain isomerism:
It arises from the difference in the number of carbon atoms in the parent chain.
Position isomerism:
It arises from the difference in the position of the functional group or multile bond attached to the main carbon chain.
All options are correct as it shows all four types of isomerisms.
