Correct Option: C
Functional group isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different functional groups.
- S (ROR'): Ethers
- T (RCOOH): Carboxylic acids
- U (RCOR'): Ketones
- V (ROH): Alcohols
- W (RCOOR'): Esters
T and U (carboxylic acids and ketones) can form functional group isomers, e.g., propanoic acid and propanone.
