The task is to identify the correct starting materials, X and Y, that react with hydrochloric acid and sodium nitrite to produce the diketones 4-isopropylcyclohexane-1,2-dione and 5-methylhexane-2,3-dione. The correct answer is that X is 4-isopropylcyclohexan-1-one and Y is 5-methylhexan-2-one, as these structures align with the expected products of the reactions."}
