Correct Answer:
C. 2250
Explanation:
The logic follows a consistent pattern of shifting letters backward in the alphabet: the first letter moves back 4 places, the second moves back 4, the third moves back 3, and the fourth moves back 4.
Applying this to SKIB to get OGNG:
S - 4 = O
K - 4 = G
I - 3 = F (Correction: The pattern in the example CUCV to YQHA confirms a -4, -4, -4, -4 shift)
Applying a -4 shift to each letter of QIRK:
Q - 4 = M
I - 4 = E
R - 4 = N (Wait, let's re-examine the options: MWEP, MWPE, MEPW, MEWP)
Re-evaluating the pattern:
S(19) to O(15) is -4
K(11) to G(7) is -4
I(9) to N(14) is +5
B(2) to G(7) is +5
C(3) to Y(25) is -4
U(21) to Q(17) is -4
C(3) to H(8) is +5
V(22) to A(1) is +5
Applying the -4, -4, +5, +5 pattern to QIRK:
Q(17) - 4 = M
I(9) - 4 = E
R(18) + 5 = W
K(11) + 5 = P
The result is MEWP.
