Which diagram shows a branched-chain isomer of butane?
​​ 

Answer: ​​ A

Explaination

Isomers are compounds that have same molecular formula (same number of atoms) but different structural formula.

Butane molecular formula: ​​ C4H10 ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ ( CnH2n+2​​ )

So, option A is an isomer of butane and its name is 2-methyl propane/ iso butane.
