**Hydrogenation Reaction: Identifying the Organic Products**

In this exercise, our objective is to determine the organic product(s) of a given reaction utilizing hydrogen gas (H₂) and a palladium on carbon (Pd/C) catalyst.

**Reaction:**
The initial reactant is a substituted alkene. The reaction conditions specified are H₂ gas in the presence of a Pd/C catalyst.

**Purpose of Reaction:**
Hydrogenation reactions, such as this one, typically involve the addition of hydrogen (H₂) across double bonds (alkenes), converting them into single bonds (alkanes) in the presence of a metal catalyst (such as Pd/C). 

**Given options:**
1. **First Option**
   - Structure: A substituted alkane with two hydroxyl (OH) groups.

2. **Second Option**
   - Structure: A substituted alkane with a palladium (Pd) label.

3. **Third Option**
   - Structure: A linear alkane.

4. **Fourth Option**
   - Structure: A substituted alkane with no additional groups.

5. **Fifth Option**
   - Structure: A linear alkane with a different carbon arrangement compared to the third option.

**Explanation:**
Among the provided options:
- Catalytic hydrogenation by H₂/Pd would not result in the addition of hydroxyl groups (OH).
- The presence of Pd in the product is also not typical of the final product in a simple hydrogenation reaction.
- The two linear alkanes (third and fifth options) differ only in the carbon chain arrangement, which wouldn't typically result from hydrogenation of the provided substrate.

For a straightforward hydrogenation of the given alkene structure, the expected product is a substituted alkane (since the double bond gets reduced to a single bond).

**Conclusion:**
The correct product should be the one where the double bond has been hydrogenated to a single bond, corresponding to the **fourth option** in the list.

This reaction exemplifies a fundamental transformation in organic synthesis where alkenes are converted to alkanes, showcasing the hydrogenation process' practical utility.
