Which of the following shows tautomerism?
Correct answer: D. All of these options are correct
- A. Amino acids
- B. Ketones
- C. Carboxylic acids
- D. All of these options are correct
Explanation
Tautomerism is when a carbon-carbon double bond is shifted to another atom. In the given options all of the options has a C=O or C=C hence, the answer is D. The compound formed has the same molecular formula but a different arrangement.

About Isomerism
Isomerism occurs when compounds have the same molecular formula but different atom arrangements or spatial orientations. The content includes chain, position, functional, metameric and tautomeric isomerism, along with geometrical and optical isomerism, including cis-trans forms, E/Z notation, chirality and enantiomers.
