The correct answer is D isomeric.
Here's why:
* Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. This means they contain the same number and types of atoms, but the atoms are arranged differently in space.
Let's look at why the other options are incorrect:
* Allotropic: Allotropes are different structural modifications of the same element. For example, diamond and graphite are allotropes of carbon.
* Polymorphic: Polymorphism refers to the ability of a solid material to exist in more than one crystal structure. This is usually applied to elements or inorganic compounds, not organic compounds with the same molecular formula.
* Polymeric: Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating smaller subunits (monomers). They don't necessarily have the same molecular formula.
* Isotopic: Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. They have the same chemical properties but different atomic masses.
In the context of the question, we are looking for compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures, which is the definition of isomers.
