Hey There!
The HCF of two numbers X and Y, if they are prime numbers, is option (C) 1.
Since, Prime Numbers are the numbers which are only divisible by 1 and themselves. So, therefore, the number of common factors in X and Y (note that they are prime) is 1.
Hope it works. If doubt you can ask.

And what if they are not prime numbers
No, it would be impossible to find them out.
I'm kinda bad at explaining, forgive me lol.
If they aren't prime it means they will have many factors in common.
So, this is why we can't find them, since, we don't know the values of X and Y.
If the values were mentioned, such as X=2 and Y=4, it would be possible to find it.
Thanks

Answer:
For Any Prime Number, X and Y
HCF will always be 1. As Prime Numbers have 1 and the number itself as a common factor.
Now, For any Non-Prime Number, X and Y, then none of the give option is correct. As you don't know that what are the factors of X and Y.
