Tautomers are isomers of a compound which differ only in the position of the protons and electrons. The carbon skeleton of the compound is uncharged. A reaction which involves simple proton transfer in an intramolecular fashion is called tautomerism. So the correct option is 2- Pentanone.

2-Pentanone

Tautomers are constitutional isomers of organic compounds that readily interconvert by a chemical reaction called tautomerization. 2Pentanone exhibits keto-enol form and hence, shows tautomerism.
