Solution
The correct option is C butan-1-ol
Alcohols and ethers are example of functional isomerism because isomers which show a difference in the functional group present in the carbon chain are known as functional isomers.
The first three are isomers of diethyl ether or ethoxyethane, C2H5OC2H5(C4H10O)
Structures of all the given compound are :
Butanone(C4H8O) does not have same molecular formula as diethylether(C4H10O)
So (d) is not an isomer of ethoxyethane.
(a),(b),(c) are isomeric to ethoxyethane
