**Question 3:**

Select which of the following products would be made by the chemical transformation indicated below:

[Diagram of a chemical reaction]

- The diagram on the left shows a linear structure with a triple bond, representing an alkyne.

- An arrow points to the right towards a blank rectangle, indicating the transformation.

- Above the arrow, the text reads: "H₂ / Lindlar’s cat." which signifies the use of hydrogen gas and Lindlar catalyst for partial hydrogenation.

This setup suggests a reaction where an alkyne is transformed into a cis-alkene using hydrogen in the presence of Lindlar's catalyst, which selectively reduces the alkyne to an alkene without further reduction to an alkane. The expected product is a cis-alkene.

The image contains four distinct diagrams labeled a) through d). Each diagram features line segments arranged to form various geometric shapes:

a) The diagram shows a series of three staggered horizontal lines, descending and then ascending in a step-like pattern.

b) A diagram with a symmetrical "V" shape in the center, with horizontal lines extending outward from the top of each side of the "V".

c) The diagram depicts two connected angled lines forming a zig-zag pattern, positioned diagonally.

d) This diagram displays a "V" shape similar to b), but inverted and with a horizontal line at the top of the "V". 

These diagrams may represent different configurations or concepts depending on the context of the lesson.
