Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) Set B

Explanation

The original plates show A and D. In B the upside-down A can be rotated into A and the upside-down R into R. Together the five letters are A,D,R,A,R, which can be arranged RADAR. They have the two matching pairs needed for a five-letter palindrome. Thus B.
