Solution

The correct option is A Different relative position around polyvalent functional group
The correct answer is option (a) because isomers in which there is a difference in relative position around polyvalent functional groups is known as metamerism. In metamerism, compounds have different empirical weight, compounds have different vapor density and different structural formula. Example : diethylether, methylpropyl ether,
