Solution

The correct option is C
The given reactant is tertiary alkyl halide and methanol is a weak base and it is a polar protic solvent which undergoes E1 elimination reaction. The carbocation formed in the E1 reaction undergoes ring expansion to form a stable five membered ring. Then, the proton abstraction by base gives a alkene product.
