The correct answer is
Below

Identify Word with Alphabetical Letter Order

To find the word with its letters in alphabetical order, examine the sequence of letters in each option.

  1. Behind: The letters are B, e, h, i, n, d. The letter 'd' comes after 'n' alphabetically, so this word is not in order.
  2. Below: The letters are B, e, l, o, w. Checking the alphabetical sequence: 'b' < 'e' < 'l' < 'o' < 'w'. This word has its letters in alphabetical order.
  3. Beside: The letters are B, e, s, i, d, e. The letter 'i' comes before 's', and 'd' comes before 'i', breaking the alphabetical sequence.
  4. Between: The letters are B, e, t, w, e, e, n. While B, e, t, w are in order, the subsequent 'e' repeats and breaks the strict alphabetical progression.

Therefore, the only word where the letters are in continuous alphabetical order is 'Below'.
