But the answer key is marked B.

Carcass, could you please confirm if the approach is correct:

Yes sir

You are right because we do know that x and y are only positive integers but we DO NOT know if they are equal and which of the two is greater

We have conflict answers and as such the correct one is D

I will edit accordingly. Clearly the book is wrong
