Detailed Solution

d,f,g do not show tautomersim due to absence of alpha hydrogen. If the compound has no `alpha` hydrogen on a saturated carbon next to the keto group or CN or Nitro or oxime group then it cant show tautomerism.Aromatisation/hydrogen bonding is the driving force to convert keto form to enol form.
