### Stereoisomers Identification Exercise

#### Instructions
Label each pair of stereoisomers below as:
a. enantiomers  
b. diastereomers  
c. identical  

Place the letter of the correct answer in the blank to the left of the pair of stereoisomers.

#### Diagram Description
There is an image displaying a pair of chemical structures which are stereoisomers. The structures show two hexagonal carbon rings with various attached groups:

1. The first structure has:
   - A carbonyl group (C=O) at the top.
   - A hydrogen (H) attached above the ring on the clockwise carbon next to the carbonyl.
   - A methyl group (CH3) attached below the ring on the next clockwise carbon.
   - A hydrogen (H) attached below the ring on the next clockwise carbon.
   - Two -CH2- groups attached above and to the left of the ring.
 
2. The second structure has:
   - A carbonyl group (C=O) at the top.
   - A hydrogen (H) attached above the ring on the clockwise carbon next to the carbonyl.
   - A methyl group (CH3) attached above the ring on the next clockwise carbon.
   - A hydrogen (H) attached below the ring on the next clockwise carbon.
   - Two -CH2- groups attached above and to the left of the ring.

#### Options
- ( ) enantiomers
- ( ) diastereomers
- ( ) identical

Please select the appropriate option based on your analysis of the structures.
