Answer:
c) Enol keto .
Explanation:
Keto-enol tautomerization is chemical equilibriumbetween a keto form and enol form.
The interconversion of two forms involved the movement of proton and the shifting of electrons.
A compound containing a carbonyl group (C=O) is normally in rapid equilibrium with an enol tautomer, which contains a pair of double bonded carbon atoms adjacent to a hydroxyl (-OH).
For a carbonyl compound to exhibit tautomerism, the essential condition is that it must have at least one alpha H atom.
Among the given set of compounds (A and C) do not possess an alpha H, whereas compound (B, D) posses an alpha H.
