Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

By the theorem of the inscribed angle,

"An angle inscribed in a circle measures half of the central angle subtended by the same arc."

Since m(arc XY) = 52°

Angle subtended by the the arc at the center (Central angle) = m∠XWY = 52°

Measure of inscribed angle = m∠XZY

By theorem, m∠XZY =
(1)/(2)(\angle XWY)

m∠XZY =
(1)/(2)(52)

= 26°

Therefore, Option (B) will be the answer.
