Correct Answer: 34125

Solution : Given:
1. Hinge 2. Homely 3. Hanger 4. Hasten 5. Howl

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter H , move to the next letter.
Step 2: The second letter of each word is – i, o, a, a, o. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – H a nger, H a sten, H i nge, H o mely, H o wl.
Step 3: Compare the third letter of (Ha n ger, Ha s ten) and (Ho m ely, Ho w l). Ha n ger will come before Ha s ten in the sequence as n comes before s in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Ho m ely will come before Ho w l in the sequence as m comes before w in the alphabetical system.

The sequence will be Hanger, Hasten, Hinge, Homely, Howl, or 34125. Hence, the third option is correct.
