Solution
The correct option is D
C2H5OH is a weak nucleophile and the substrate is bulky so it favours SN1 reaction.
Neopentyl bromide forms 1° carbocation which rearranges to form the more stable 3° carbocation. This is attacked by weak nucleophile ethanol followed by loss of proton to yield ethyl tert-pentyl ether.
