Solution

The correct option is C may be in

Let the temperatures of X, Y and Z be Tx, Ty and Tz, respectively.
Given, Tx ≠ Ty,
and Tx ≠ Tz.

This does not tell us anything about Ty and Tz, except that they are not equal to Tx.
So, Ty = Tz, and Ty ≠ Tz, both are possibilities!
So they can be in thermal equilibrium.
