It would appear I was on the right track yesterday, just needed a little time to see it.
Each of the words can form a five-letter anagram when successive letters of the alphabet are added at the beginning:
earn + a = arena
male + b = blame
ride + c = cider
seal + d = deals
bowl + e = elbow
nags + f = fangs
tear + g = great
laos + h = halos
tern + i = inert
sail + j = jails
babe + k = kebab
rose + l = loser
char + m = march
The only word out of the four choices that will form an anagram when an "N" is added is lobe (noble). Good one!
