Keto-Enol Tautomerism:

The enol content of a carbonyl compound depends on the stability of the enol form. Factors that stabilize the enol form include:
1. Conjugation with other double bonds
2. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding
3. Aromaticity (if applicable)

Analysis of Options:

(a) Cyclohexane-1,3-dione: The two carbonyl groups are separated by one CH₂ group, so the enol form has extended conjugation and hydrogen bonding making enol form particularly stable.

(b) Cyclohexane-1,3,5-trione: Thi
