Step 1: Identify the compounds X and Y.
X is cis-1-butene, and Y is trans-2-butene, as the reactions involve catalytic hydrogenation and reduction with Na in liquid ammonia. These transformations change the geometry of the alkene, leading to cis and trans isomers.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Since cis- and trans- isomers are stereoisomers, the correct answer is (3).
