Solution

The correct option is D CH3CH2OH
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.

CH3CH2OH doesnt show tautomerism as it is saturated molecule.

Option D is correct.
