Answer:
A
Solution:

The adrenal gland is composed of two distinct parts: the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla, which have different embryonic origins.

The adrenal cortex (X) develops from the mesoderm.

The adrenal medulla (Y) develops from the neuroectoderm (ectoderm).

Therefore, X is Mesoderm and Y is Ectoderm.
