Solution :
Given:

Compare the first and second letters of each word. Since all the words have the same letters
D

f
ensive.
Step 3:
Compare the fifth letter of (Defe
c
t, Defe
n

n
sive). Defect will come before Defence, and Defensive in the sequence as
c
comes before
n
in the alphabetical system.
Step 4:
Compare the sixth letter of (Defen
c
e, Defen
s
ive). Defence will come before Defensive in the sequence as
c
