The answer is neopentane will be formed.  

That is when dimethyl zinc reacts with tert-butyl chloride, then neopentane will be formed.  

The reaction can be shown as follows:

C(CH₃)₃Cl + (CH₃)₂Zn----->C(CH₃)₄ + (CH₃)Zn(Cl)

So, then dimethyl zinc reacts with tert-butyl chloride, then neopentane and methylzinc chloride will be formed.
