In order to ensure that no more than two variables are positive, we can add the constraint X + Y + Z ≤ 2. This means that the sum of the variables must be at most 2, which is equivalent to saying that no more than two variables can be positive. Option A is incorrect because it allows for the possibility that all three variables are positive. Option C and D are incorrect because they don't impose any limit on the number of variables that can be positive.
