The correct answer is

DAEH

To identify the odd word from the given options, we need to determine the pattern or rule that applies to most options and see which one deviates.

Let's analyze the letter positions in the alphabet for each option:

  1. DAEH:
    D(4), A(1), E(5), H(8)
    No consistent arithmetic progression.
  2. KIMP:
    K(11), I(9), M(13), P(16)
    Pattern: +2, +4, +3
  3. HEIL:
    H(8), E(5), I(9), L(12)
    Pattern: -3, +4, +3
  4. FCGJ:
    F(6), C(3), G(7), J(10)
    Pattern: -3, +4, +3

In options KIMP, HEIL, and FCGJ, the letters seem to follow a consistent pattern involving simple operations like addition or subtraction that can be established between consecutive positions, mainly using three steps with a +/- pattern. However, DAEH doesn't follow a similar straightforward pattern in terms of arithmetic progression. Thus, DAEH is the odd one out.
