Question
Predicts the major products for the following reaction.
The image shows a chemical reaction involving an organic compound and a specific catalyst system. 

On the left side, there is a skeletal formula of an alkyne, characterized by a triple bond between two carbon atoms. The compound depicted appears to be a linear hydrocarbon with the alkyne group located internally.

To the right of the alkyne is an arrow pointing to the right, labeled with "H₂" above it and "Lindlar's Catalyst" below. This annotation signifies the reaction conditions, indicating that the alkyne will undergo a hydrogenation reaction in the presence of Lindlar's Catalyst.

Lindlar's Catalyst is a palladium-based catalyst that selectively hydrogenates alkynes to cis-alkenes, converting the triple bond to a double bond while retaining the cis configuration.
