D Correct answer
Explanation

The post-increment operator x++ first returns the current value of x (which is 1), then increments x to 2. So y receives 1 (the original value), and x becomes 2 after the operation. This is a fundamental concept of post-increment vs pre-increment (++x) operators in Java.
