W, X and Y are the intermediates in a biochemical pathway as shown below:
$$S \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \to W \to X \to Y \to Z$$
Mutants auxotrophic for Z are found in four different complementation groups, namely Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z4. The growth of these mutants on media supplemented with W, X, Y or Z is shown below (Yes: growth observed: No: growth not observed):
