D Correct answer
Explanation

This is a word puzzle: he is writing an ICS exam sitting between two MATs. The word MATHEMATICS is formed by MAT + HEMAT + ICS. When you place ICS between two MATs, you get MAT-ICS-MATICS, which combined spells MATHEMATICS. The riddle uses the positioning of words to reveal the hidden term.
