Answer

Explanation

Solution

Reaction of C6H5Br+CH3BrC_6H_5Br + CH_3Br with NaOH (alc.)\text{NaOH (alc.)} to Form B:

In the first step, the reaction of bromobenzene (C6H5BrC_6H_5Br) with methyl bromide (CH3BrCH_3Br) in the presence of alcoholic NaOH undergoes a nucleophilic substitution to form B, which is ortho-bromophenol.

Reaction of B with HBr (ether)\text{HBr (ether)} to Form C:

In the second step, treating ortho-bromophenol with HBr\text{HBr} in ether leads to the formation of C, which is para-bromophenol.

Identifying the Relationship Between A and C:

Compound A (bromobenzene) and compound C (para-bromophenol) are position isomers because they differ in the position of the bromine and hydroxyl groups on the benzene ring.

Conclusion:

The structures of B and C are as shown in Option (3), and A and C are position isomers.
