Solution

The correct option is B X = 0- and p- Bromophenol , Y = Salicylaldehdye
Bromination of phenol in organic solvent is electrophilic substitution of Br at ortho and para-position of phenol resulting in o-bromophenol and p-bromophenol=X
Phenol in the presence of base and chloroform gives salicyaldihyde. It is called Reimer-Tiemann reaction.
