The correct answer is
xyyxyy
To find the correct pattern, let's break the series down into groups of six letters. There are 18 positions in total (12 given letters and 6 blanks).
Let's test Option 1 (xyyxyy) by filling in the blanks from left to right:
1st blank: x
2nd blank: y
3rd blank: y
4th blank: x
5th blank: y
6th blank: y
When we plug these letters into the series, it becomes:
x [x] y y [y] y | x x [y] y y y | [x] x y [y] y [y]

The Pattern

If we divide this completed series into blocks of 6, we get a perfectly repeating pattern:
x x y y y y
x x y y y y
x x y y y y
Every block consists of two xs followed by four ys (x x y y y y).
Correct Option: Option 1 (xyyxyy)
