Answer: Option B

 -  
The first three and last three letters will exchange their positions and middle two letters remain as such.

To understand why this is the correct answer, it is important to understand the concept of anagrams. An anagram is a word that can be rearranged to form a different word. In this case, the words "NEUROTIC" and "TICRONEU" are anagrams because they contain the same letters but are arranged differently.

Similarly, "PSYCHOTIC" can be rearranged to form "TICCHOPSY." To verify this, we can use the following steps:

Count the number of each letter in "PSYCHOTIC" and see if it is the same as the number of each letter in "TICCHOPSY."

Arrange the letters of "PSYCHOTIC" in the same order as "TICCHOPSY."

Here are the steps in bullet points:

Count the number of each letter in "PSYCHOTIC" and "TICCHOPSY."

P: 1 in both words

S: 1 in both words

Y: 1 in both words

C: 2 in both words

H: 2 in both words

O: 1 in both words

T: 1 in both words

I: 1 in both words

Arrange the letters of "PSYCHOTIC" to form "TICCHOPSY."

Start with the first letter in "TICCHOPSY," which is "T." The only "T" in "PSYCHOTIC" is in the first position, so it must be the first letter in the rearranged word.

The next letter in "TICCHOPSY" is "I." There are two "I"s in "PSYCHOTIC," one in the second position and one in the seventh position. It does not matter which one we choose, as long as we use the same one for both words.

The next letter in "TICCHOPSY" is "C." There are two "C"s in "PSYCHOTIC," one in the third position and one in the sixth position. It does not matter which one we choose, as long as we use the same one for both words.

Continue this process until all the letters have been arranged.

This confirms that "PSYCHOTIC" can be rearranged to form "TICCHOPSY," making option B the correct answer.
