![### Reaction and Reagent Selection
**Reaction Question:**
Which reagents would be used in the following reaction?
**Chemical Reaction:**
- The substrate is a compound that contains a bromine atom (Br) attached to a carbon chain.
- The product is a compound containing an OH group attached to the second carbon from the left. The carbon chain is extended, and an additional carbon compound is formed as a byproduct, identified by multiple lines indicating a repeating structure.
**Reagent Options:**
- **a.** CH₃OH, Δ (Methanol, Heat)
- **b.** H₂O, Δ (Water, Heat)
- **c.** \[ \]⁻, DMSO (Some anion, Dimethyl sulfoxide as solvent)
- **d.** \[ \]⁻OCH₃, Acetone (Methoxide ion, Acetone as solvent)
- **e.** \[ \]⁻OH, DMF (Hydroxide ion, Dimethylformamide as solvent)
**Explanation of Reactions:**
- The diagram suggests a substitution reaction where bromine is replaced by an OH group.
- The reagents listed are common in substitution and elimination processes.
**Graph/Diagram Explanation:**
The reaction arrow indicates a transformation from the starting compound with bromine to a hydroxide-substituted product, with heat or specific reagents facilitating the reaction. The byproduct indicates multiple structural units, likely representing polymer formation or a separate multiple-step product.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd558f9cc-27bc-429d-8068-d8381bad499f%2F2115577d-f28d-454c-84fe-16a9a5e6311f%2Fvc15lj_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
