The most stable conformation of the following compound has

A. An axial methyl group and an axial ethyl group.

B. An axial methyl group and an equatorial ethyl group.

C. An axial tert-butyl group.

D. An equatorial methyl group and an equatorial ethyl group.

E. An equatorial methyl group and an axial ethyl group.

Explanation:

The most stable conformation in the cyclohexane ring is the one in which both the substituents are in the equatorial position.

Among the given options,

option D  An equatorial methyl group and an equatorial ethyl group.

When the substituents in the cyclohexane ring are in equatorial positions then, the steric repulsions will be reduced.

Answer is option D.

african americans demonstrated their newly found freedom by relocating often in search of relatives whom they had been separated from during slavery. others established schools to educate freed people and they built institutions such as churches and political organizations to advocate for their rights.
