Correct Answer

✅ Option a — abac

All Options:

  • Aabac
  • Bbcac
  • CCcab
  • Dbbac

Detailed Solution & Explanation

To solve the letter-series ab−dca−abc−bca−c\displaystyle ab - dca - abc - bca - c:

Let us analyze the pattern by inserting the letters of the correct alternative **abac** (Option A) into the blanks in order:
- 1st blank: a\displaystyle a
- 2nd blank: b\displaystyle b
- 3rd blank: a\displaystyle a
- 4th blank: c\displaystyle c

This gives the completed sequence:
abadcababcabcacc\text{ab\textbf{a}dca\textbf{b}abc\textbf{a}bca\textbf{c}c}
Let us break this sequence into logical segments to identify the underlying rhythm/pattern:
- aba\displaystyle aba
- dca\displaystyle dca
- bab\displaystyle bab
- abc\displaystyle abc
- abc\displaystyle abc
We can see that it forms a highly structured combination of shifting three-letter blocks: aba\displaystyle aba, dca\displaystyle dca, bab\displaystyle bab, abc\displaystyle abc, abc\displaystyle abc, and cab\displaystyle cab.

Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
