Structural isomers have the same atoms, but the bond sequence is different - butane vs. isobutane, for instance. In geometric isomers, also called stereoisomers, the bond structure is the same, but the relative position of the atoms in space is different. If the two isomers are mirror-images of each other, they are enantiomers; if not, they are diastereomers. L- and D-lactic acid are enantiomers of each other (they're both lactic acid because the bonds are the same; they're mirror images, so one rotates light to the right, the other to the left).

yep it's C. the structure of the compound is different, you can get forms Cis-isomerism and Trans-isomerism, hope it helps i just had a chemistry exam today an its kinda stuck in my head.
