Explanation

The word 'honorificabilitudinitatibus' (27 letters) does follow a pattern of alternating consonants and vowels throughout: h-o-n-o-r-i-f-i-c-a-b-i-l-i-t-u-d-i-n-i-t-a-t-i-b-u-s. You can see the consonant-vowel pattern remains consistent: h(c)-o(v)-n(c)-o(v)-r(c)-i(v)-f(c)-i(v)-c(c)-a(v)-b(c)-i(v)-l(c)-i(v)-t(c)-u(v)-d(c)-i(v)-n(c)-i(v)-t(c)-a(v)-t(c)-i(v)-b(c)-u(v)-s(c). Option D contains a typo ('teh' instead of 'the') but is incorrect anyway.
