#### Reagents List:
- **a.**
  1. O₃
  2. Zn, H₃O⁺
- **b.**
  1. BH₃, THF
  2. H₂O₂, NaOH, H₂O
- **c.** CHCl₃, KOH
- **d.** H₂O, H₂SO₄, heat
- **e.**
  1. OsO₄
  2. NaHSO₃, H₂O
- **f.** KMnO₄, acid
- **g.** CH₂I₂, Zn(Cu)
- **h.**
  1. Hg(OAc)₂, H₂O
  2. NaBH₄

---

#### Example Reaction:

Reactants:
- A hexane ring with a single methyl group attached (CH₃).

Products:
- A cyclohexane ring with an additional methylene group and a hydroxyl group (OH) attached at specific positions indicating a specific reaction transformation.

---

#### Diagram Explanation:
In the provided chemical transformation diagram, the reactant is a hexane ring (a six-carbon ring) with a single methyl group (CH₃) attached at one position. The product is a modified cyclohexane ring with an additional methylene group and a hydroxyl group (OH) attached, suggesting a specified organic reaction process. The nature of the reagents in the list will help identify the correct transformation mechanism from the reactant to the product.

---

#### Goal:
Match the given transformation with the correct reagent combination from the list above and provide reasoning for the selection.
