Solution

The correct option is C 2-methoxy propane
Metamerism is a type of structural isomerism in which different alkyl groups are attached to the same functional group.

Since, options A, B and D are alcohols and the given compound is an ether; so they can't be metamers (due to different functional groups).

2-methoxy propane is an ether having the same molecular formula as that of diethyl ether (C₄H₁₀O) but having different alkyl groups attached on both the sides of O-atom.

Thus, option C is correct.
