- D. Eight
Explanation
Total Six Pairs They are: 1) HI 2) ST 3) I L 4) LS 5) CI 6) RT *Note that in these six pairs of words the difference in alphabets in-between the letter 'HISTORICAL' and in English alphabets is the same. For example: The alphabets H and I have zero alphabets in between the letter HISTORICAL and zero in English alphabets (A-Z). Same is the case for Pair No 2: (ST). Similarly Pair 3 (IL) have a difference of 2 alphabets in both the letter HISTORICAL and in English alphabets (A-Z). The other 3 follow similar sequence but in a backwards direction.
