The correct answer is

Brother-in-law

The question involves family relationships. Let's analyze the given information step by step:

  1. A and B are a married couple. This means B is A's spouse.

  2. X and Y are brothers. Thus, X and Y share the same parents.

  3. X is the brother of A. Therefore, X is A's sibling.

Now, we need to determine how Y is related to B. Since X and Y are siblings, if X is the brother of A, then Y is also a brother to A. As A is married to B, Y becomes B's brother-in-law.

Based on the relationships established, the correct answer is:

Brother-in-law
