- A. on Y's left
- B. on Y's right
- C. opposite Y
- D. behind Y

People facing north share the reader's orientation, so left and right are the same for both, and X remains on Y's left. Had the row faced south, the directions would reverse. Establishing the facing direction before answering any left or right question is the essential habit.
