Solution Steps

Step 1: Find the missing angle

The angles in a triangle add up to 180°. We are given two angles, 60° and 43°. Therefore, the third angle is 180° - 60° - 43° = 77°.

Step 2: Determine the longest side

The longest side of a triangle is opposite the largest angle. Since the largest angle is 77° (angle Y), the longest side is the one opposite it, which is XZ.

Final Answer: The final answer is $\boxed{B}$
