Answer:

D. 122

Explanation:

We have been given that line DE is parallel to XY. We are asked to find the value of y.

We can see that angle y and angle with measure 122 degrees are alternate exterior angles as they are formed outside of parallel line and on the opposite side of transversal.

By alternate exterior angles postulate both angles are equal, therefore, the value of y is 122.
