d
Take the genus-two surface obtained from a regular hyperbolic octagon fundamental polygon by identifying opposite sides. Rotation of the octagon through π/4 respects the side pairing and descends to an orientation-preserving isometry of order eight. Thus G=C8​ acts on S2​ and
∣G∣=8>1=g−1.
(1)
The fixed image of the octagon centre explains why this does not contradict part c.
