The correct option is A Functional isomers
Ethyl nitrite and nitro ethane are Functional isomers.
Ethyl nitrite: $C H_{3} C H_{2} - O - N = O$
nitro ethane: $C H_{3} C H_{2} N O_{2}$
Nitro compounds are functional group isomers for nitrite compounds in which the oxygen is bonded with the carbon chain.
Hence option A is correct.
