Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{W}=\mathrm{C} \quad \mathrm{X}=\mathrm{A} \quad \mathrm{Y}=\mathrm{D} \quad \mathrm{Z}=\mathrm{B}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

W: Chemically inert, non-stoichiometric compound. Interstitial compounds like \(\mathrm{Mn_4N}\) are non-stoichiometric and often chemically inert. Thus, W matches with C. X: Higher oxidation states are more stable. In the case of \(\mathrm{WO_3}\), tungsten is in its highest…
