Question
The image presents a chemical question related to organic chemistry:

**Question:**
What is the major product of the following elimination reaction?

**Diagram:**
- The diagram shows a cyclohexane ring with a bromine atom (Br) attached to one carbon and a hydrogen atom depicted with a solid wedge. 
- The reaction conditions indicate the presence of methanol (CH₃OH) as a reagent.
- There is an arrow pointing to the right, indicating progression of the reaction.

**Options:**
- **First option:** A cyclohexene ring with a double bond between the carbon initially bearing the bromine and the adjacent carbon. 
- **Second option:** A similar cyclohexene ring with the double bond positioned differently, between the carbon next to the initial bromine-bearing carbon and the subsequent carbon.

This appears to be a question about predicting the major product in an elimination reaction, likely focusing on understanding Zaitsev's rule or a similar concept in organic chemistry.
