In the conversion of (A) to (B), the best method for the protection of (OH) group is silylation method because:

Answer»

Benzylation method is not effective as `Ag_(2)O` MIGHT react with Br group of the reactant to give an (OH) group.
ROTHP cannot be used because the alcohol is likely to rearrange under the ACIDC CONDITIONS of ether formation.
Silylation method is effective since (OH) group is not sterically hindered.
The reaction can be without protecting (OH) group, as shown below:
`(A)overset(1. Mg//ether)underset(2.D_(2)O)rarr(B)`
