Correct relationship between above compounds :

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

(I) is butan-2-one and (II) is but-2-en-2-ol, its enol : they differ only in the position of a proton and a double bond, so they are tautomers. (I) and (III) are functional-group isomers (ketone and aldehyde), not tautomers; (II) and (IV) are also a keto-enol-related pair, not metamers; (III) and (IV) are tautomers, not position isomers. Hence (A).
