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

. Based on the alphabetical order, we can arrange them as – Peri
l
ad, Peri
m
eter, Peri
o
dic, Peri
