the same atoms that are arranged in the same order.
C
the same types of bonds that are bonding the same number of carbon atoms to different atoms.
D
the same atoms that are arranged in different orders.

Explanation

Structural isomers have the same molecular formula, so they contain the same kinds and numbers of atoms, but those atoms are connected in different arrangements. Therefore, choice A, “the same atoms that are arranged in different orders,” is correct.
