Answer: The correct option is

(D) Figure Y is circumscribed about figure X.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a figure X is inscribed in figure Y.

We are to select the statement that must be TRUE.

We know that

if a figure X is inscribed in a figure Y, then the figure X must be smaller than figure Y.

So, the figures X and Y will not be congruent to each other and thus option (A) is incorrect.

Since a circle can be inscribed in another circle and a circle is not a polygon. So, option (B) is incorrect.

If a figure lies lies inside another figure, then the outer figure is said to be circumscribed about the inner figure.

So, figure Y is circumscribed about figure X.

Therefore, option (C) is incorrect and option (D) is CORRECT.

Thus, (D) is the correct option.
