Solution
The correct option is DCH3CH2OH Tautomers are two molecules with the same molecular formula but different connectivity - constitutional isomers, in other words - which can interconvert in a rapid equilibrium. The most common tautomeric relationship in organic chemistry is the keto-enol pair.
CH3−CH2OH doesnt show tautomerism as it is saturated molecule.
