(A) The given structures are Newman projections of the same molecule,$n$-butane. Structure $I$ represents the staggered conformation,while structure $II$ represents the eclipsed conformation. Since these structures are interconvertible by rotation around the $C-C$ single bond,they are conformational isomers.
