### Explanation
Mixing aqueous $$CaCl_2$$ and $$Na_2CO_3$$ results in a double displacement (precipitation) reaction.
$$CaCl_2(aq)+Na_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow CaCO_3(s)\downarrow+2NaCl(aq)$$
Thus, the products formed are calcium carbonate and sodium chloride.
Hence,
$$X=CaCO_3$$
$$Y=NaCl$$
To convert $$CaCO_3$$ back into $$CaCl_2$$, it is treated with hydrochloric acid.
$$CaCO_3(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CaCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$$
Therefore,
$$Z=HCl$$
Hence, the correct matching is
$$X=CaCO_3,\quad Y=NaCl,\quad Z=HCl$$
This corresponds to Option B
