The complete rearrangement pattern is as follows.
Input: kites 30 optimistic 5 glacier watch 40 25 umbrella 20 rest 10 15 nature 35 desk
Step 1 : desk 40 kites 30 optimistic 5 glacier watch 25 umbrella 20 rest 10 15 nature 35
Step 2 : desk glacier 40 35 kites 30 optimistic 5 watch 25 umbrella 20 rest 10 15 nature
Step 3 : desk glacier kites 40 35 30 optimistic 5 watch 25 umbrella 20 rest 10 15 nature
Step 4 : desk glacier kites nature 40 35 30 25 optimistic 5 watch umbrella 20 rest 10 15
Step 5 : desk glacier kites nature optimistic 40 35 30 25 20 5 watch umbrella rest 10 15
Step 6 : desk glacier kites nature optimistic rest 40 35 30 25 20 15 5 watch umbrella 10
Step 7 : desk glacier kites nature optimistic rest umbrella 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 watch
Step 8 : desk glacier kites nature optimistic rest umbrella watch 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5
From the above pattern, we see that option (D) is correct.

Understanding the Rearrangement Process
The machine follows a specific rearrangement process based on the type of input (words or numbers). To determine the position of items in Step 5, we need to analyze the previous steps.
Input Breakdown
Initial Input:
- kites, 30, optimistic, 5, glacier, watch, 40, 25, umbrella, 20, rest, 10, 15, nature, 35, desk
Step 5 Analysis
1. Step 1 to Step 4: The process involves moving the last item (in this case, "desk") to the front, followed by moving the next items based on their type (words or numbers).
2. Step 5 Transition: In Step 5, the order is:
- ball, can, juice, location, manager, umbrella, 32, 28, 24, 20, 16, 12, 4, tar, state, 8, people
3. Relevant Items: In Step 5, "umbrella" is present, and we need to find which items lie between the number 5 and umbrella itself.
Identifying Items Between 5 and Umbrella
- In the previous steps, "watch" is positioned right after 5 and before umbrella moves into the sequence.
- Therefore, by the time we reach Step 5, "watch" is still in position, making it the item that lies between 5 and umbrella.
Final Answer
Thus, the correct answer to the question is "d) Watch," as it is the only item positioned between 5 and umbrella in Step 5.
