Solution

The correct option is C X is undecidable but partially decidable
Problem X is state entry problem. Halting problem of turing machine can be reduced to state entry problem. Since halting problem of turing machine is undecidable. the state-entry problem must also be undecidable. The language corresponding to state-entry problem is RE but not REC. So X is undecidable but partially decidable.
