    E. a greater electric potential

    Explanation:

    Positive charges normally move from regions with high potential to a low potential region. Negative charges normally move from regions with low potential to a high potential region. And since object X gains electrons when connected to object Y (electrons are negative) object X must have had a higher potential than object Y.
