Correct Answer: One
Solution :
First, arrange the letters of SECTION in alphabetical order –
SECTION→CEINOST
Now, find the number of letters that do not change their positions –
S | E | C | T | I | O | N |
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
C | E | I | N | O | S | T |
3 | 2 | 5 | 7 | 6 | 1 | 4 |
Therefore, only E is the letter in the given word SECTION that doesn't change its position after arranging the letters in alphabetical order.
So, only one alphabet doesn't change its position. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
