Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Arrange each group of alphabets in alphabetical order:

- Group 1: J, P, D, B, S
  - Alphabetically: B, D, J, P, S
  - Numbering from left to right: I = B, II = D, III = J, IV = P, V = S

- Group 2: C, M, A, Q, X
  - Alphabetically: A, C, M, Q, X
  - Numbering: I = A, II = C, III = M, IV = Q, V = X

- Group 3: W, I, T, N, O
  - Alphabetically: I, N, O, T, W
  - Numbering: I = I, II = N, III = O, IV = T, V = W

2. Now check which columns (I, II, III, IV, V) are in alphabetical order when considering the letters from all three groups arranged vertically:

- Column I: B (Group 1), A (Group 2), I (Group 3)
  - Order: B, A, I
  - Since A comes before B, this is not in alphabetical order.

- Column II: D, C, N
  - Order: D, C, N
  - C comes before D, so not alphabetical.

- Column III: J, M, O
  - Order: J, M, O
  - J < M < O, so alphabetical.

- Column IV: P, Q, T
  - Order: P, Q, T
  - P < Q < T, so alphabetical.

- Column V: S, X, W
  - Order: S, X, W
  - W comes before X, so not alphabetical.

3. Columns III and IV are in alphabetical order.

**Answer:** (d) Only III and IV
