Solution

The correct option is C X has some water of crystallization
This is because X has some water crystallization. When X is heated, the water molecules disappear and X loses its blue color and become anhydrous Y(contains no water). Again when Y is hydrated, X takes some water molecules which is called water of crystallization and the blue color reappears.
