B

the given number is not a multiple of 3. so x must be zero.
i guess this is one of those questioswhere extra info is given.

In addition to x being zero, I believe it should be confirmed that z != 0. This is done by working out by hand 4^y for some integer close to 32,768. This is because 32,768 is a power of 2.

guess thts implied. as we have zeros at the end. despite the fact tht 32768 is factor of 4, the zeros bring 5 into euation.
