I need some help with the question in the attached image. Thank you! 

### Question 3 of 7

**Question:**
For the substituted cyclohexane compound shown, identify the atoms that are *cis* to the hydroxyl (OH) substituent.

**Diagram:**
The diagram shows a cyclohexane ring with various substituents labeled by letters and atoms. Here are the details:

- There are two hydrogens labeled as B and H.
- The hydroxyl group (OH) is attached to the carbon atom labeled as G.
- The substituents around the cyclohexane ring include:
  - Chlorine atoms labeled C and K.
  - Flourine atoms labeled F and J.
  - Bromine atom labeled H.
  - Methyl group (CH₃) labeled E.
  - Another hydrogen labeled A.
  
**Task:**
Identify the atoms that are *cis* to the hydroxyl group.

**Options:** 
- A (Hydrogen) [Checked]
- B (Hydrogen)
- C (Chlorine)
- D (Chlorine)

Example of *cis* relationship:
In cyclohexane, substituents that are on the same side of the ring (both in axial positions or both in equatorial positions) are considered to be *cis* to each other.

**Answer:**
The atom labeled "A" (Hydrogen) is selected as being *cis* to the hydroxyl group.

**Note:** The remaining unselected options can also be assessed based on their spatial arrangement in the cyclohexane chair structure to confirm their *cis/trans* relationship with the hydroxyl group.
