Question

From the given structure, indicate the most stable radical.

The image shows the chemical structure of the molecule 4-methylcyclohexene. 

**Description:**

- **Cyclohexane Ring:** The diagram begins with a six-membered carbon ring, known as a cyclohexane. It’s represented as a hexagon.

- **Double Bond:** There is a single double bond extending from the cyclohexane to form an alkene, indicated by two parallel lines, showing unsaturation in the molecule.

- **Methyl Group:** Attached to the carbon adjacent to the double bond is a methyl group (CH₃), represented by a line extending from the ring to a connected "V" shape.

This structure illustrates an organic compound that is part of the alkene family, characterized by the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond, and is specifically substituted with a methyl group.
