Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To ascertain the count of consonant letters in the English alphabet that exhibit vertical axis symmetry, we first enumerate the uppercase consonants: B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, Z.

Subsequently, we identify the subset of these consonants that are vertically symmetrical:

• B
• C
• D
• H
• K
• O
• V
• W
• X
• Y
• Z

Upon enumeration of these symmetrical consonants, the total is determined to be 11.

Consequently, the result is 11.
