Which meaningful word can be formed from the letters “MOTLETEE”?

Correct — D.
Rule: every option uses the same eight letters, so spelling decides.

MOTLETEE: M, O and L once each, T twice, E three times.
All four options use exactly these letters.
OMELETTE is the arrangement that spells a real word → option (d).

Why the others are wrong

• (a)
  OMLETTEE — OMLETTEE moves the E that follows M to the end. The word is O-M-E-L-E-T-T-E, with an E between M and L.
• (b)
  METELOTE — METELOTE uses the right eight letters in an order that spells no English word.
• (c)
  EMOTETLE — EMOTETLE opens like EMOTE, but the letters after it spell nothing, so it is not a word.

An anagram item gives jumbled letters and asks which arrangement is a word. The first check is the letter count, which removes any option that adds or drops a letter.

Here that check removes nothing: all four options are exact rearrangements of MOTLETEE. The decision rests on knowing the spelling O-M-E-L-E-T-T-E, a dish of beaten eggs cooked in a pan.

Key facts

• MOTLETEE has eight letters: M, O and L once each, T twice, E three times.
• OMELETTE is spelled O-M-E-L-E-T-T-E.
• When every option uses the same letters, spelling alone separates them.

Common traps

• Picking OMLETTEE because it looks close to the word
• Stopping at the letter count, which every option passes here
