Answer: option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since tertiary butyl Alcohol is a 3° alcohol and it reacts with HCl to give Tertiary butyl chloride(2-chloro-2-methyl butane) by SN1 mechanism and won't give elimination product, alkene.

And it passes through carbocation intermediate

Reactivity is different with HCl and HBr
