The English alphabet has 26 letters. The second half consists of the letters from N to Z.

The first half (A to M) is written in alphabetical order:

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M

The second half (N to Z) is written in reverse alphabetical order:

Z, Y, X, W, V, U, T, S, R, Q, P, O, N

Combining these two halves, the new arrangement of the alphabet is:

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, Z, Y, X, W, V, U, T, S, R, Q, P, O, N

Thus, the letter in the 16th position from the left is X.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
