Correct Answer: Periodic


Solution : Given:
1. Periwing 2. Perilad 3. Perimeter 4. Periodic 5. Perish

Step I: Compare the first, second, third and fourth letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter P and are followed by e, r and i, then move on to the next letter.
Step II: The fifth letter of each word is w, l, m, o, s . Based on the alphabetical order, we can arrange them as – Peri l ad, Peri m eter, Peri o dic, Peri s h, Peri w ing.

Thus, Periodic is in the third position according to the sequence. Hence, the third option is correct.
