Dear student,

Due to an oscillating charge, the electric and magnetic fields are produced perpendicular to the direction of oscillation of charge and to each other. Since the electric and magnetic fields oscillate along Y and Z axes, the charge must be osciiating in X axis to produce such EM field.
