Maximum number of super keys are 8 because X is a key and if any one is included with key it will be a super key.

We know that definatly a X is a super key. So from pending Y,Z,W maximum number of super keys can be $2^3 - 1 = 7$ and As X is a key then 7+1 = 8 is max number of super key

Maximum no. of possible superkeys for a table with n attributes = 2^(n-1)
Here, n = 4.
So, the possible superkeys = 2^(4-1) = 2^3 = 8
The possible superkeys are : X, XY, XZ, XW, XYZ, XYW, XWZ, XYZW
