Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

In the diagram,

a = z (alternate angles)

b = 180\(^o\) - a (angles on a straight line)

b = 180\(^o\) - z

c = 180\(^o\) - x (angles on a straight line)

y = b + c (sum of oposite interior angles)

y = 180\(^o\) - z + 180\(^o\) - x

y = 360\(^o\) - z - x

x = 360\(^o\) - y - z
