Solution

The correct option is B Cyclohexene
The ozonolysis product of X is a dicarbonyl which contains aldehyde group.
An aldehyde gives positive Tollen's test. $R C H O + 2 [A g (N H_{3})_{2}]^{+} + 3 O H^{-} \to R C O O^{-} + 2 A g ↓ + 2 H_{2} O + 4 N H_{3} Aldehyde Tollen's Reagent Carboxylate ion Silver mirror$

Cyclohexane and cyclopentane do not undergoes ozonolysis as these do not have double bond.
