Detailed Solution

Strong base like CH3O leads to more substitution.

Sterically hindrance around the reacting carbon leads to more elimination. In elimination, major product is of more substituted alkene (Saytzeff rule). In the given reaction CH3O is unhindered whereas reacting carbon of 2-chloro-2-methylpentane is sterically hindered and thus all the three given compounds will be formed.
