Verified by ExpertsD
Analyzing the pairs of compounds in List-I:
2-Methylpropene 
and but-1-ene 
have the same molecular formula 
but different carbon skeletons (branched vs straight chain). Thus, they are chain isomers. (A-III)
Cis-but-2-ene and trans-but-2-ene are geometrical isomers, which fall under the category of stereoisomers. (B-I)
2-Butanol ( 
) and diethyl ether ( 
) have the same molecular formula 
but different functional groups (alcohol vs ether). Thus, they are functional group isomers. (C-IV)
But-1-ene and but-2-ene have the same carbon chain and functional group but differ in the position of the double bond (at 
vs 
). Thus, they are position isomers. (D-II)
Matching the pairs: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
