A. It is not consistent with DMRS.

B. At point E, X is a good but Y is a bad.

C. At point F, X and Y are bads.

D. X and Y must be goods if IC is downward sloping.

If you do not understand, read other materials! The best way, maybe, ask your teacher! (Maybe, you can go to the next page for explanation.)
