A chloro derivative `(A)` on treatment with zinc`-`copper couple gives a hydrocarbon with five `C` atoms. When 'A' is dissolved in ether and treated with sodium, `2,2,5,5-`tetramethyl hexane is obtained. What is the original compound `A` ?

A

2-Chloro-2-methylpropane

B

1-Chloro-2, 2-dimethylpropane

C

2-Chloro-2-methylbutane

D

Isopropyl chloride
