![**Question 14:**
The major product of the following reaction is:
\[ \text{H}_2, \text{cat. Pd/C} \rightarrow ? \]
Choose the correct product from the options below:
a)
[Image: A bicyclic compound with no additional hydrogenation, maintaining the original structure.]
b)
[Image: A bicyclic compound similar to option 'a', with no visible changes.]
c)
[Image: A bicyclic compound where the structure appears saturated.]
d)
[Image: Two fused rings, similar saturation as 'c'.]
e)
[Image: A bicyclic compound with added hydrogen atoms, indicating a saturated structure.]
**Explanation:**
This question involves a reaction where hydrogen gas (H₂) is used in the presence of a palladium/carbon catalyst (Pd/C). This setup typically facilitates the hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds, leading to reduced (saturated) structures. Options 'c' and 'e' feature more saturated structures, indicating reduced forms, which are common results in such reactions.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F20b515c9-5e3a-448e-90a2-ac3b562e1523%2Fbf40873c-9e2c-49f1-b237-f7a47955da22%2Fo60lvk9_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
