Just look at the combinations of the levers and you will see that C and R are always in the same position, so one of the statements must be "Placing the C and R levers in the same position". If you realize that, look at the statement that you have to consider: "The one and only means of X is Y". A means of something is either the reason why something is done or the way that something can be done. Here, the way something is done makes sense as the statement seems to present an instruction on how to operate the machine. So what could be the means? Looking at the other answer choices only "Powering on the machine" and "Powering off the machine" make sense. However, it doesn't make sense to use the levers C and R to power the machine off, so powering on must be the correct choice.
X: The only means of turning the machine ON
Y: is using C and R levers
