Correct answer: B
Concept: In this anagram-based "odd one out" question, each letter-group must first be rearranged into a valid English word; three of those words share a common category (they are all names of sports), while the fourth is a valid word that does NOT belong to that category — that one is the odd one out.
Application: Rearranging each set of letters:
Anagram | Rearranges to | Category |
|---|---|---|
LABLOTOF | FOOTBALL | Sport |
CEKTRIC | CRICKET | Sport |
SNINET | TENNIS | Sport |
ONSELC | CLONES | Not a sport |
Cross-check: LABLOTOF, CEKTRIC, and SNINET all resolve to names of sports (FOOTBALL, CRICKET, TENNIS), forming a clear common category. ONSELC also rearranges into a genuine English word, CLONES (plural of "clone"), but CLONES is not the name of a sport, so it breaks the shared category even though it is a valid word.
Hence, ONSELC is the odd one out.
