The reaction of 2-methylfuran with DMF-POCl3 would give 2-methylfuran-2-yl chloride.

DMF-POCl3 is a Lewis acid catalyst that can protonate the oxygen atom of furan, making it more electrophilic. This electrophilic oxygen atom can then attack the carbonyl carbon of DMF, forming a tetrahedral intermediate. This intermediate collapses to form 2-methylfuran-2-yl chloride and methanol.

The other options are incorrect because they do not account for the formation of the tetrahedral intermediate. Option A is incorrect because it does not have the chlorine atom that is present in the product. Option B is incorrect because it does not have the methyl group that is present in the product. Option C is incorrect because it does not have the furan ring that is present in the product.
