Answer 1

Answer:

option D is the correct answer

Answer 2

Option C is a compound that can show metamerism.

• Metamerism occurs when the compound has a different number of carbon atoms on either side of the functional group.
• For metamerism, a compound can't change its functional group.
• For example, in options A, B, and D, if we arrange the compound to make it different and show metamerism, we will end up altering the functional group, which is not correct.
• Thus, only option C shows metamerism.
• Methoxy Ethanoyl can be converted to its metamer and written as Ethoxy Methanoyl.
