### Ozonolysis Reaction Mechanism

In the image, we have an organic chemistry reaction illustrating the ozonolysis of a fatty acid. The reaction begins with a fatty acid substrate and ends with a product that includes both a carboxylic acid and a peroxide.

#### Substrate Structure:
- The starting molecule on the left is a fatty acid with an extended carbon chain and a carboxyl group (-COOH) at one end.
- It has a double bond (C=C) located at the ninth carbon when counting from the carboxyl group.

#### Product Structure:
- The product molecule on the right also has a carboxyl group at one end.
- The position of the double bond in the substrate leads to the formation of a peroxide (ROOH) group at the end of the non-carboxylic carbon chain.

#### Reaction Conditions:
The question mark "?" indicates that the appropriate reagents and conditions to achieve the transformation need to be identified from the provided options.

#### Options for the Reaction Conditions:
a) 1. \( O_3, -78^\circ C \)
   2. \( H_2O_2 \) (aq)

b) \( mCPBA, CH_2Cl_2 \)

c)  \( OsO_4, t-BuOH/H_2O \)

d) \( O_2 \)

e) \( H_2SO_4 \) (cat.), \( H_2O \)

### Explanation of Each Option:

- **Option (a)**: This condition represents ozonolysis. Ozone ( \( O_3 \) ) cleaves the double bond at low temperature, and the oxidative work-up with hydrogen peroxide ( \( H_2O_2 \) ) results in the formation of carboxylic acids and peroxides.

- **Option (b)**: This involves mCPBA (meta-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid) typically used for epoxidation of alkenes, not quite suitable for the described transformation.

- **Option (c)**: Osmium tetroxide ( \( OsO_4 \) ) in the presence of tert-butyl alcohol ( \( t-BuOH \) ) and water is commonly used for syn-dihydroxylation of alkenes, forming diols rather than the required product.

- **Option (d)**: Molecular oxygen ( \( O_2
