Hi..
Ans should be A.. and this is why?

I tells us $$\frac{(y+2)!}{x!}$$ is odd INTEGER.
It means $$\frac{1*2*3....X*x+1*x+2...Y*y+1*y+2}{1*2*3...x}=x+1*....Y*y+1*y+2$$
So y+2 >x and
also y+2 is ONE more than x otherwise x+1*x+2.... would be even ..
So y+2 will be ODD and also y+2-2 or y
Sufficient
II can have y both as odd and as even

A
