Correct Answer: 30°


Solution :

Since $XO$ is the median,
$YO = OZ = \frac{YZ}{2}$
Given $XO = \frac{YZ}{2}$,
⇒ $YO = XO$
⇒ $\triangle XYO$ is an isosceles triangle.
Given, $\angle YXO = 30°$
Since angles opposite to equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal,
⇒ $\angle XYO = 30°$
⇒ $\angle XYZ = 30°$
Hence, the correct answer is 30°.
