The task involves calculating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of this operator and determining the correct statement among the provided options. The correct statement indicates that the eigenfunction of the operator Ay can also be an eigenfunction of A^2, but not of the Z-component, Az, highlighting the relationships between different components of angular momentum in quantum mechanics."}
