The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}$
Compound $(Y)$ gives iodoform test, that means it contains acetyl group
PCC is an oxidising agent which oxidised the alcohol to aldehyde or ketone (depends upon the reactant alcohol). That means $X$ is an alcohol.
From the given information, it is concluded that the compound $X$ is an alcohol (which contain two carbon). Thus, the alcohol is $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}$.
The reaction involves are as follows:
