Answer:

(A) Segment YX

Explanation:

Since, the hypotenuse is the longest side of any given triangle and also, the segment is known as hypotenuse if it is opposite to the right angle.

Also, in the given figure that is triangle XYZ, segment YX is opposite to the right angle that is ∠YZX, thus segment YZ is the hypotenuse of the triangle XYZ.

Hence, option A is correct.
