Chemistry Question on preparation of haloarenes

The best method to prepare neopentyl chloride is

A

(CH3)3CCH2OH\left(CH_{3}\right)_{3} CCH_{2}OH \ce−>[pcl5′Δ]\ce{ ->[pcl_{5'} \Delta] }

B

(CH3)3CCH2OH\left(CH_{3}\right)_{3} CCH_{2}OH \ce−>[Hcl′Δ]\ce{ ->[Hcl_{'} \Delta] }

C

(CH3)3CCH2OH\left(CH_{3}\right)_{3} CCH_{2}OH \ce−>[Socl2′pyridine]\ce{ ->[Socl_{2'} pyridine] }

D

(CH3)3CCH3\left(CH_{3}\right)_{3}CCH_{3} \ce−>[Cl2′hv,Δ]\ce{ ->[Cl_{2'} hv, \Delta] }

Answer

(CH3)3CCH3\left(CH_{3}\right)_{3}CCH_{3} \ce−>[Cl2′hv,Δ]\ce{ ->[Cl_{2'} hv, \Delta] }

Explanation

Solution

Free radicals, on the other hand, do not undergo rearrangement and hence the best method of preparation is through Free radical chlorination.
