Solution

The correct option is A The electron density on X will increase and on H it will decrease
In XH....Y,
H is directly bonded to X and there is an interaction between H and Y. X and Y are both electronegative elements. Since X is directly bonded to H, it pulls the shared electron cloud. So, the electron density on X increases and on H, the electron density decreases.
