Correct Answer :

Option D

I

Solution :

The correct answer is I.

To solve this problem, let's list the positions of all letters in the word "CHAIRPERSON":
1st letter = C
2nd letter = H
3rd letter = A
4th letter = I
5th letter = R
6th letter = P
7th letter = E
8th letter = R
9th letter = S
10th letter = O
11th letter = N

Now, extract the specified letters from the left end:
- 1st letter: C
- 3rd letter: A
- 4th letter: I
- 5th letter: R
- 11th letter: N

The set of extracted letters is C, A, I, R, N.

Using these five letters, we can form the meaningful five-letter word CAIRN (meaning a mound of stones built as a landmark or memorial).

Determining the 3rd letter from the left end of the word "CAIRN":
- 1st letter: C
- 2nd letter: A
- 3rd letter: I
- 4th letter: R
- 5th letter: N

Therefore, the third letter of the formed word from the left end is I.
