Solution

The correct option is C Metamerism

Compounds having the same molecular formula but different numbers of carbon atoms on either side of the functional group are called metamers and the phenomenon is called metamerism.

In Diethyl ether to ether group two ethyl groups attached and in Methyl propyl ether one methyl and one propyl group attached to ether. Hence, Diethyl ether and Methyl propyl ether are metamers.

So, option C is correct.
