Solution

The correct option is D Metamers
In the given compounds, carbonyl group is present at $3^{r d}$ position in (a) and at $2^{n d}$ position in (b). Thus these compounds exhibit positional isomers.
Also, it exhibit metamerism because there is difference in relative position of alkyl group around carbonyl functional group. Hence, these are metamers also.

But by following FMPC, metamers are prioritized over positional isomers.
Hence, for single correct answer (MCQ), the correct option is (d).
