Answer:

X = the matrix; Y = the viral RNA

Step-by-step explanation:

X is the matrix of the HIV. It is composed of a protein and encloses a capsid which, in turn, encloses two copies of the viral RNA.

Y is the viral RNA itself.

The RNA is tightly associated with nucleocapsid proteins (which protect it from attack by nucleases) and to enzymes the virus needs to do its work.
