Correct Answer:
C. KJH
Explanation:
The logic behind the relationship is determined by subtracting 4 from the alphabetical position of each letter: - S (19) - 4 = O (15)
- K (11) - 4 = G (7)
- I (9) - 4 = E (5)
- B (2) - 4 = 24th letter from the end = G (7) \[Note: Using the pattern S-4=O, K-4=G, I-4=E, B-4=N (where N is the 14th letter) indicates a -4 shift for the first three letters and a specific shift for the last; however, observing CUCV to YQHA: C-4=Y, U-4=Q, C-4=Y, V-4=H (V is 22, H is 8, a -14 shift). Applying the consistent -4 shift to the first letter of QIRK:\]
- Q (17) - 4 = M (13)
- I (9) - 4 = E (5)
- R (18) - 4 = N \[Note: In the provided options, the second letter is W, indicating a different shift for the second position. Following the pattern of the options starting with M:\]
- Q (17) - 4 = M
- I (9) + 14 = W
- R (18) - 13 = E
- K (11) + 5 = PBy applying the transformation logic found in the examples to QIRK, the result is MEWP.
