Detailed Solution

  • Rotamers are different arrangements of the same molecule.
  •  Rotamers are conformational isomers. 
  • To interconvert one conformer to another we rotate the molecule about single bonds.
  • The free rotation occurs when the energy barrier is low, and a sample of the compound exists as a quickly equilibrating mixture of various conformers. Restricted rotation occurs when the energy barrier is high. 
    Thus, (D) Rotamers is the correct answer.
