Verified step by step guidance

Identify the structure of the alcohol: The given alcohol is a cyclopentanol with a methyl group at the 3-position, making it 3-methylcyclopentanol.

Understand the hydration reaction: In a hydration reaction, an alkene reacts with water in the presence of an acid catalyst to form an alcohol. The double bond in the alkene is broken, and an -OH group is added to one of the carbons involved in the double bond.

Determine the position of the double bond: For the alcohol 3-methylcyclopentanol, the -OH group is at the 3-position. Therefore, the double bond in the alkene must have been between the 2nd and 3rd carbon atoms to allow the -OH group to attach at the 3-position.

Select the correct alkene: The alkene that would lead to the formation of 3-methylcyclopentanol through hydration is 3-methylcyclopentene, where the double bond is between the 2nd and 3rd carbon atoms.

Verify the structure: Ensure that the structure of 3-methylcyclopentene matches the requirement for the hydration reaction to produce 3-methylcyclopentanol, confirming the correct placement of the double bond and methyl group.
