Solution

The correct option is A X-Funicle, Y-Hilum
The ovule is a small structure attached to the placenta by means of a stalk called funicle.
The body of the ovule fuses with funicle in the region called hilum.
Thus, hilum represents the junction between ovule and funicle.

So, the correct option is 'X-Funicle, Y-Hilum'.
