Correct Answer :

Option A

One

Solution :

The correct option is One.


Let's analyze the given word SOUNDBAR and arrange its letters in alphabetical order to see which letters remain in their original positions.


Original word:

1st letter: S
2nd letter: O
3rd letter: U
4th letter: N
5th letter: D
6th letter: B
7th letter: A
8th letter: R


Now, let's arrange the letters of SOUNDBAR in alphabetical order:

The letters are: A, B, D, N, O, R, S, U


Comparing the positions:

Position 1: S → A (Changed)
Position 2: O → B (Changed)
Position 3: U → D (Changed)
Position 4: N → N (Unchanged)
Position 5: D → O (Changed)
Position 6: B → R (Changed)
Position 7: A → S (Changed)
Position 8: R → U (Changed)


Only the letter 'N' at the 4th position remains unchanged after sorting the letters in alphabetical order.


Therefore, the position of only One letter remains unchanged.
