The letters available in INTELLIGENCE are I(2), N(2), T(1), E(3), L(2), G(1), C(1). The word ‘INTENT’ requires the letters I(1), N(2), T(2), E(1). INTELLIGENCE has only one ‘T’, but INTENT requires two ‘T’s. Therefore, INTENT cannot be formed.

List the letters and their counts in the original word (INTELLIGENCE). Check the required letters and counts for each option. Identify the option for which the required letters or their count exceed what is available in the original word.

A) ENTICE requires E(2), N(1), T(1), I(1), C(1). Available: E(3), N(2), T(1), I(2), C(1). Can be formed.
B) GENTLE requires G(1), E(2), N(1), T(1), L(1). Available: G(1), E(3), N(2), T(1), L(2). Can be formed.
C) ENGINE requires E(2), N(2), G(1), I(1). Available: E(3), N(2), G(1), I(2). Can be formed.
