(A) structure and structure

(B) structure ⟷ structure

(C) structure ⟷ structure

(D) structure and structure

Answer:
A
Solution:

(A) is a keto-enol pair. A hydrogen has moved from carbon to oxygen, so they are tautomers, not resonance structures.

(B) The two Kekule forms of benzene and (C) the allyl cation pair differ only in electron positions.

Only (A) is not a resonance pair.
