Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) d

Explanation

The central letter n has alphabet position 14, matching the displayed 5+9. The opposite letters h and t have positions 8 and 20, equally spaced about 14. Applying the same midpoint rule to x (position 24) and the missing letter gives (24+k)/2 = 14, hence k = 4. The fourth letter is d, option A.
