Solution

The correct option is A isomerisation
In the above reaction, the molecular formula of the product is the same as that of the reactant. There occurs a change in bond connectivity.

So the reactant and the substrate are structural isomers.

The reaction is an example of an isomerization reaction.

Hence, option A is correct.
