Solution

The correct option is A metamers
Compounds having the same molecular formula but different number of carbon atoms ( alkyl groups) on either side of functional group ( i.e., -O-,-S-, -NH-, -C(=O)-) are called metamers and the phenomenon is called metamerism.Thus C2H5COC2H5andCH3COCH(CH3)2 are metamers.
