`(CH_(3))_(3)C-CH_(2)-OHoverset(PCl_(5)//Delta)to`
( B) `(CH_(3))_(3)C-CH_(2)-OHoverset(HCl//Delta)to`
© `(CH_(3))_(3)C-CH_(2)-OHoverset(SOCl_(2)//"Pyridine")to`
(D) `(CH_(3))_(3)C CH_(3)overset(Cl_(2)//hv)underset(Delta)to`

Explanation

To determine the best method to prepare neopentyl chloride from the given options, we can analyze each method step by step.

### Step 1: Understand the structure of neopentyl chloride
Neopentyl chloride has the structure:
\[ \text{(CH}_3)_4\text{C-CH}_2\text{Cl} \]
This structure indicates that neopentyl chloride is derived from neopentane, with a chlorine substituent on the primary carbon adjacent to the tertiary carbon.
