**Question:**Which of the following represents trans-1-ethyl-3-methylcyclohexane in its most stable conformation?**Images:**There are four structural representations of cyclohexane derivatives labeled I, II, III, and IV. Each structure depicts a cyclohexane ring with two substituents. The substituents are either in the axial or equatorial positions:- **Structure I:** The cyclohexane ring has a CH₃ group and a CH₂CH₃ group. The CH₃ is axial, and the CH₂CH₃ is equatorial.- **Structure II:** The cyclohexane ring has a CH₃ group and a CH₂CH₃ group. Both are equatorial.- **Structure III:** The cyclohexane ring has a CH₃ group and a CH₂CH₃ group. The CH₃ is equatorial, and the CH₂CH₃ is axial.- **Structure IV:** The cyclohexane ring has a CH₃ group and a CH₂CH₃ group. Both are axial.**Options:**Select one:- A. I- B. III- C. II- D. IV**Explanation:**To determine the most stable conformation for trans-1-ethyl-3-methylcyclohexane, consider the spatial orientation of substituents. The trans configuration requires one substituent to be axial and the other equatorial. Consider steric hindrance and energy minimization for stability.
