Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=1838)
The correct answer choice is (D)
This questions tests your ability to manipulate the operations in order to minimize the number of letters in the fourth word.
If the first word has nine letters, then the optimal operation for the second word is to delete a letter, reducing the total number of letters in the word to eight. The next operation cannot be a deletion, so the most benign operation would be to replace a letter. Then to reach the fourth word, a letter could again be deleted, bringing the minimum number of letters possible in the fourth word to seven:
Accordingly, answer choice (D) is correct.
