The correct statement is:

Image X shows weathered rock while Image Y shows weathered rock that is eroded down the side of the mountain and deposited at the bottom of the mountain.

Why

In Image X, weathered rock can be seen at the peak of the mountain, indicating that weathering has occurred. In Image Y, the weathered rock can be observed being carried down the side of the mountain, which is erosion. Additionally, the deposition of rock at the bottom of the mountain can be seen in Image Y. Therefore, both images depict weathering, erosion, and deposition.
