• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A

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

Metamerism is seen in compounds which have the same functional group but the nature of alkyl group around the polyvalent functional group is different. It occures among members of the same homologous family.
