The correct answer is:
1, 2
$\mathrm{S}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$ (conc.) $\longrightarrow 3 \mathrm{SO}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
(X) (Y)
As $\mathrm{SO}_2$ has one lone pair of electrons on central atom i.e., sulphur.

And $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ has two lone pair of electrons on the central atom i.e., oxygen.
