The correct answer should be the option b - 1 -Bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane.
In the given reaction, 2 sodium atoms are used as reactants which combine with Bromine atoms and the product formed is 2 moles of NaBr. So, 2 moles of the compound A should have been used so that 2 Br atoms can be present. Since the product is 'tetramethyl' and since there are already 2 moles of the compound, the compound should be a 'dimethyl'.
You can find the reaction equation as the attachment.
