Question
The image displays a series of chemical reaction steps involving structural formulas of organic compounds. On the left side, the top structure is a five-carbon chain with an alcohol group (OH) on the second carbon from the end. Below this, an arrow points downward, indicating a transformation.

There are two empty, red, dashed boxes, suggesting missing intermediate steps or products.

The bottom structure on the left shows a similar carbon chain, but the alcohol group is replaced with a bromine atom (Br) on the same carbon position.

On the right side, multiple pathways are presented, labeled B to E:

- **B**: An arrow indicating a reaction with HBr.
- **C**: An arrow indicating a reaction with HBr and heat.
- **D**: An arrow indicating a reaction with H₂O.
- **E**: An arrow indicating a reaction with NaOH and heat.

These pathways suggest different possible reactions or conditions that could convert the starting material to the product with bromine.

**Title: Determining Reagents for an SN1 Reaction**

**Objective:**
Predict the reagents needed to complete the following SN1 reaction.

**Diagram Description:**
1. **Reactant Structure:**
   - The reactant depicted is a branched alkane with an alcohol group (-OH) attached to it.

2. **Reaction Flow:**
   - An arrow points downward from the reactant, leading to two empty red dashed boxes. This indicates that two reagents need to be identified to proceed with the reaction.

**Reagent Options:**
- Four options are available, each represented by an arrow pointing downward alongside a reagent or condition:

  **A.** \( \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ \)

  **B.** \( \text{HBr} \)

  **C.** \( \text{HBr, heat} \)

  **D.** \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \)

**Task:**
Select the appropriate reagents from the options provided to complete the SN1 reaction for the given alcohol.
