Clipping is often referred to as truncation or shortening. Clipping describes a word's constituent parts that act as the entire word, such as the word "bike" from "motorbike" and the word "cooker" from "pressure cooker."
The clipped form of the word “University” is varsity.
Clipped Words are words created by deleting one or more syllables from a larger word or phrase while keeping the original word's or phrase's meaning unchanged. Clipped words are simpler to spell and say since they are shorter. In speech that is used every day, clipped words are more prevalent.
Thus, option b) is the correct answer.
