(a) W and X
(b) W and Y
(c) X and Y
(d) X and Z
"
In container X:
Density of the liquid in $d_W=\frac{mass}{volume}$
$=\frac{80\ gm}{100\ cm^3}$
$=0.8\ gm/cm^3$
In container X:
Density of the liquid in $d_X=\frac{mass}{volume}$
$=\frac{100\ gm}{100\ cm^3}$
$=1\ gm/cm^3$
In container Y:
Density of the liquid in $d_Y=\frac{mass}{volume}$
$=\frac{100\ gm}{80\ cm^3}$
$=1.25\ gm/cm^3$
In container Z:
Density of the liquid in $d_Z=\frac{mass}{volume}$
$=\frac{80\ gm}{80\ cm^3}$
$=1\ gm/cm^3$
Here we observe that, $d_X=d_Z$, which means that the densities of the liquids in containers X and Z are the same. So it can be said that the liquids in container X and container Z could contain identical liquid.
So, option (d) is correct.
