Question
**Label the molecules as cis or trans.**

**A)**  
- Molecule: A chair conformation with Br and Cl atoms.
- Options: 
  - [ ] does not apply
  - [x] trans
  - [ ] cis

**B)**  
- Molecule: A chair conformation with Cl and Br atoms opposite to molecule A.
- Options: 
  - [x] does not apply
  - [ ] cis
  - [ ] trans

**C)**  
- Molecule: A chair conformation with Br and Cl atoms.
- Options: 
  - [ ] does not apply
  - [x] trans
  - [ ] cis

**D)**  
- Molecule: A chair conformation with Br and Cl atoms aligned similarly to molecule A.
- Options: 
  - [x] trans
  - [ ] cis
  - [ ] does not apply

**Explanation:**
The task is to identify whether the molecules shown in a chair conformation are in cis or trans configuration. The terms "cis" and "trans" are used to describe the positions of two substituents relative to each other in cyclic compounds. In the "cis" configuration, substituents are on the same side, while in the "trans" configuration, they are on opposite sides.
