The sugar Y is D-xylose.
Part a: Oxidation with bromine water
The sugar is oxidized into a carboxylic acid. The product formed is xylonic acid. This is a chiral sugar.
Part b: Reduction
The aldehyde is reduced to an alcohol. The product is achiral and is named as xylitol.
Part c: Oxidation by nitric acid
The primary alcohol and aldehyde both are oxidized to carboxylic acid groups. The chirality is lost. This is named as xylaric acid.
Part d: Osazone formation
C1 and C2 reacts to form an osazone. The sugar is chiral.
