Correct: e5
Wrong: f6
The stone at f6 is a ladder breaker for the ladder starting at c7, and it also threatens to connect via f5. This looks very strong, but Blue can still defend at e7, which is a ladder breaker and threatens a connection at the lower side. Since Blue has another threat at e5, this is enough for winning.
