Solution

The correct option is C X: Cu ; Y: N2
Ammonia reduces heated metallic oxides to give metals, water vapours and nitrogen gas. X is copper (Cu) and the gas released is nitrogen.

The chemical equation is given as:
2 NH3​ (g) + 3CuO (s) → 3Cu (s) + 3 H2O (l) + N2​ (↑)

The correct answer is option (a).
