Solution

The correct option is A hydroxy aldehyde
The molecular formula of esters is: RCCOR
For example: CH3O||COCH3 (C3H6O2)
Hydroxyaldehyde example: CH3CH|OHCHO (C3H6O2)
Ketone: CH3O||CCH3 Diketone: CH3O||CO||CCH3 Diol: CH3CH|OHCH2|OH
From the above examples we can conclude that esters are functional isomers of hydroxy aldehyde as both have same molecular formula.
