### Question 15

**Provide the reagents necessary to carry out the transformation shown below.**

#### Diagram Explanation

The diagram shows a chemical reaction where benzoic acid (a benzene ring with a carboxyl group, COOH, attached) is transformed into benzyl alcohol (a benzene ring with a hydroxymethyl group, CH₂OH, attached). 

- **Left Structure:** The starting material is benzoic acid, represented as a hexagonal benzene ring with alternating double bonds and a carboxyl group (COOH) attached to one of the carbon atoms.
- **Arrow:** Indicates the direction of the chemical transformation.
- **Right Structure:** The product is benzyl alcohol, represented as a hexagonal benzene ring with alternating double bonds and a hydroxymethyl group (CH₂OH) attached to one of the carbon atoms.
