Solution

The correct option is A X: Tibetan Highlands, Y: Himalayas
The name westerly is given because it flows from west to east. This wind gets divided and one branch blows to the north of the Tibetan Highlands and the other branch blows to the south of the Himalayas. This southern branch of the jet stream is known to have an influence on the Indian monsoon.
