Solution

The correct option is C $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C | | O - C H_{3}$ and $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C | | O - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$
Position isomers differ in the position of the substituent atom or group or an unsaturated linkage in the same carbon chain.

Thus, 2-pentanone and 3-pentanone (option A) are the position isomers. They differ in the position of the carbonyl group.

In Option B, C, and D all are functional isomers.

Hence, the correct option is (A).
