![### Reaction Classification Exercise
**Classify each reaction below as a(n):**
a. addition
b. elimination
c. substitution
d. rearrangement
**Instructions:** Place the letter corresponding to the correct answer in the blank to the left of the reaction.

\[ \_\_\_\_\_ \]
\[ \text{acid catalyst} \rightarrow \]
**Options:**
- ○ addition reaction
- ○ elimination reaction
- ○ substitution reaction
- ○ rearrangement reaction
**Explanation:**
The diagram shown displays two chemical structures. The first structure on the left is a hexane ring with a double bond, and branching from one of the carbon atoms on the ring is a methyl group (CH₃). The second structure on the right is also a hexane ring, but it now has the double bond removed and the methyl group relocated on a different carbon atom on the ring.
**Reaction Type:**
This reaction involves the shift of a substituent (methyl group) within the same molecule without the addition or elimination of atoms, fitting the description of a **rearrangement reaction**. Hence, the correct answer is:
\[ \_\_\_\_\_\ \text{d} \]
**Answer:**
- ○ rearrangement reaction](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fdaac3699-bbcf-491f-ae47-6900b381c75d%2F79116299-6460-4b1b-b1e2-ccfcf9a8b211%2Fxgn2g8l_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
