Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The forward reaction involves the elimination of a leaving group (water) from a molecule (cyclohexanol) to form a double bond between two adjacent carbons, which is an example of an elimination reaction. The reverse reaction involves the addition of a molecule (water) across a double bond to form a molecule (cyclohexanol), which is an example of an addition reaction. Therefore, the correct answer is choice C, elimination and addition.
