![**Question 17**
Give the starting material.
![Image Diagram Explanation]
To find the starting material for the given reaction sequence, observe the following reaction scheme:
1. Hg(OAc)_2, H_2O →
2. NaBH_4
produces a product with the structure of a cyclohexane ring with a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached, indicating a Markovnikov addition of water to an alkene.
**Options for starting material:**
(a) Cyclohexene with a two carbon chain (a vinyl group) attached.
(b) Cyclohexane with a one carbon chain attached next to a double bond.
(c) Cyclohexane with a double bond at the top.
(d) Cyclohexene with a shorter carbon chain with a double bond.
The correct starting material is the one that, upon being subjected to these reagents, would result in the addition of a hydroxyl group at the more substituted carbon of the former double bond.
**Answer Choices:**
- ○ a
- ○ b
- ○ c
- ○ d
