The pair of organic compounds that are isomers is

Benzene and methylbenzene

Trichloromethane and tetrachloromethane

Ethanol and propane

But-1-ene and but-2-ene

Explanation

Isomers refer to compounds that have the same molecular formula but are structurally different. Both But-1-ene and But-2-ene have the same number of Carbons and the same number of Hydrogen. The only difference is the positions of the double bond. Therefore, they are isomers
