Solution

The gas released at the anode during the electrolysis of brine is Chlorine (Cl2).

So, if 'X' is Chlorine, then the reaction of Ca(OH)2 with 'X' would be:

Ca(OH)2 + Cl2 → 'Y' + H2O

The product 'Y' would be Calcium Oxychloride (CaOCl2).

For the second reaction:

NaOH + Zn → ‘Z’ + H2↑

The product 'Z' would be Sodium Zincate (Na2ZnO2).

So, the correct answer is B. CaOCl2 and Na2ZnO2.
