Given Data / Assumptions:
- Mapping: 1→E, 2→M, 3→I, 4→H, 5→T, 6→R.
Concept / Approach:Common candidate here is “HERMIT.”
Step-by-Step Solution:Option B: 4,1,6,2,3,5 → H, E, R, M, I, T = “HERMIT”.
Verification / Alternative check:Spelling is correct; other options fail to form a standard word.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They create jumbles with no lexical meaning.
Common Pitfalls:Overlooking the H→E start for “HER…”.
