Solve the following python programming problem given the following code:
def __wrap_methods_with_call_and_maybe_retry(self, name) : 
    'Wrap calls to name().' 
    def call_and_maybe_retry(* args, **kwargs) : 
        n = len (self.__alternatives) 
        for i in range (n) : 
            index = ((self.__start_index + i) % n) 
            alternative = self.__alternatives [index] 
            try : 
                result = getattr (alternative, name) (* args, ** kwargs) 
                self.__start_index = index 
                return result 
except Exception as ex : 
                if ((i < (n - 1)) and self.__retry_if (ex)) : 
                    log.info (('%r.%s() raised %r, trying next alternative' % (alternative, name, ex))) 
else : 
                    raise 
f = getattr (self.__alternatives [self.__start_index], name) 
    return wraps (f) (<MASK>) 
    
    Given the code above, what is a proper replacement for <MASK>? Choose among: name, self, f
assistant
#Here is a proper replacement for <MASK>.
