The correct Answer is:
C
`CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(OH)overset(|)(C)-CH_(3)` and `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH` have Different skeletons as well as different positions of functional group `(-OH)`. Thus they exhibit both types of isomersm. (iii),(iv) are position isomers, (ii), (iv) are chain isomers, and (i) ,(iii) are also chain isomers.
