Correct answer: C

The question asks for the metamer of a given compound (X)(X)(X), but the crucial information is missing:

  1. The structure/name/formula of compound (X)(X)(X) is not provided.
  2. The option structures for A, B, C, and D are also blank.

Without these, the answer cannot be determined from chemistry principles alone.

Step 1: What is metamerism?

Metamers are compounds that have:

  • the same molecular formula,
  • the same functional group,
  • but different alkyl groups on either side of a polyvalent atom or functional group such as −O−-O-−O−, −NH−-NH-−NH−, −S−-S-−S−, etc.

For example, in ethers: C4H10O\mathrm{C_4H_{10}O}C4​H10​O can give metamers like:

  • CH3−O−C3H7\mathrm{CH_3-O-C_3H_7}CH3​−O−C3​H7​
  • C2H5−O−C2H5\mathrm{C_2H_5-O-C_2H_5}C2​H5​−O−C2​H5​

Step 2: Why this question cannot be solved as given

To identify the metamer, we must compare the given compound (X)(X)(X) with the options and check:

  • same molecular formula,
  • same functional group,
  • different distribution of carbon chains.

But here, neither (X)(X)(X) nor the options are visible.

Step 3: Comparison with stored answer

The stored correct answer is C, but since the actual structures are missing, I cannot independently verify that option C is correct.

So, based only on the information shown, the problem is underdetermined.
