as the given lines are parallel,
using the properties of parallel lines we can say that
x/2=y
and x/2=z
x=y+z
A.correct.

$$x + 90 - y + 90 - z = 180$$
$$x = y + z$$

A. is correct

Look closely and you can make another line parallel to the other 2 passing through the point x.

From here, using the properties of angles subtended you know that x/2 equals y. Similar for z.
