Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Key insight: letters are alternately shifted: first letter by -1, second by +3, third by -1, fourth by +3, fifth by -1.

  • T -> S (shift -1)

  • E -> H (shift +3)

  • A -> Z (shift -1, wraps to Z)

  • C -> F (shift +3)

  • H -> G (shift -1)

Resulting code: SHZFG

None of the provided options match SHZFG. The option with text SGZFG (which was marked as correct) is incorrect because its second letter is G instead of the expected H.
