The correct answer is: be a crystalline solid
The nature of the compound formed is crystalline solid due to presence of ionic bond. Since, $X=$ metal and $Y=$ non-metal.
When the elements of group- 2 (metals) combines with those of group-17 (non-metals) by the transfer of electrons, an ionic bond is formed and compound formed is likely to be crystalline solid like $\mathrm{NaCl}$.
