**Question 1**

What is the major product of the following reaction?

Reagents: 
1. \( \text{BH}_3, \text{THF} \)
2. \( \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \)

Reactant: 

- A cyclic compound with a 5-membered ring, containing one double bond and a methyl group (CH\(_3\)) attached to the double-bonded carbon.

Options:

- **a.** A 5-membered ring with a single bond, a methyl group (CH\(_3\)), and an OH group attached to adjacent carbons.
  
- **b.** A 5-membered ring with a single bond and an OH group attached to a carbon without a methyl group.
  
- **c.** A 5-membered ring with a single bond, with a CH\(_3\) and OH group attached to adjacent carbons, both having wedge-dashed bonds indicating stereochemistry.

- **d.** A 5-membered ring with a single bond, with a CH\(_3\) and OH group on the same carbon, with wedge-dashed bonds indicating stereochemistry.

Select the correct option:
- ☐ a
- ☐ b
- ☐ c
- ☐ d
