Four letter-clusters have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the one that is different. The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter cluster.

The correct answer is

NOPPSS

Step 1: Identifying the pattern

Observing the letter clusters, we see that:

RTTUWW → Contains repeated pairs: TT, UU, WW

ACCDFF → Contains repeated pairs: CC, DD, FF

IKKLNN → Contains repeated pairs: KK, LL, NN

NOPPSS → Contains repeated pairs: PP, SS

All clusters contain three pairs of repeated letters.

Step 2: Finding the odd one

If we check the sequence in the alphabetical order:

RTTUWW → (R, T, T, U, W, W)

ACCDFF → (A, C, C, D, F, F)

IKKLNN → (I, K, K, L, N, N)

NOPPSS → (N, O, P, P, S, S)

The first three clusters follow a pattern where the repeated letters are in a structured, non-consecutive pattern, while NOPPSS does not follow the same pattern strictly.

Conclusion:

NOPPSS (Option 2) is the odd one out ✅ because its letter arrangement does not follow the same increasing structured pattern as the others.

The correct answer is Option 2: NOPPSS.
