According to the question:
In each of the words, each vowel is changed to the letter immediately following it in the English alphabetical order and each consonant is changed to the letter immediately preceding in the English alphabetical order.
Now, changing each letter in the words:
ACT: A → B, C → B, T → S
BUS: B → A, U → V, S → R
CAR: C → B, A → B, R → Q
DAD: D → C, A → B, D → C
Thus, the new clusters formed are:
ACT → BBS
BUS → AVR
CAR → BBQ
DAD → CBC
In these clusters, the ones without any vowel (A, E, I, O, U) are:
BBS, BBQ, CBC
Hence, the number of letter clusters where no vowel appears is: 3
Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 3".
