Solution
The correct option is AX=1−Butyne;Y=3−Hexyne NaNH2 is a strong base which on reacting with terminal alkyne removes terminal acidic hydrogen leaving alkynyl carbanion, which on reaction with alkyl halide produces longer alkyne by nucleophilic addition. Thus, X is 1-Butyne and Y is 3-Hexyne.
