Solution

The correct option is C Tertiary nitroalkane
Nitroalkanes containing α-hydrogen atoms , i.e., primary and secondary nitroalkanes shows tautomerism.

A tertiary nitroalkane does not show tautomerism as it does not contain hydrogen on the adjacent carbon atom to the nitro group.

Option C is correct.
