Solution

The correct option is A

CH3SCH2CH2CH3


Compounds having the same molecular formlua but different number of carbon atoms(or alkyl group) on either side of the functional group are called metamers and this phenomenon is called metamerism.Metamerism occurs among the members of the same homologus family.

Therefore necessary conditions are:

Same molecular formula

Same functional group

Different number of carbon group on either side of the functional group.

Therefore ,correct answer is:

CH3SCH2CH2CH3
