The correct answer is
J

Let's break down the problem step-by-step:

  1. Shifting Letters: Each letter in "IMAGINATION" is replaced by the next letter in the alphabet. This gives us "JBNJOBOUJPO".
  2. Alphabetical Order: Now, we arrange the letters of "JBNJOBOUJPO" in alphabetical order. This results in "B B J J J N O O P U".
  3. Sixth Letter: Finally, we identify the sixth letter from the left end of the alphabetically ordered word. That letter is "J".

Therefore, the sixth letter from the left end of the new word formed is J.
