Solution

The correct option is C 2-Pentanone
Tautomers are constitutional isomers of organic compound that readily interconvert by a chemical reaction called tautomerization. It results in the formal migration of a hydrogen atom or proton accompanied by a switch of single bond and adjacent double bond e.g.Keto enol tautomers in 2-Pentanone.
