Correct answer: A
Rule: Letters in odd positions are replaced by the next letter in the alphabet (+1). Letters in even positions are replaced by the previous letter in the alphabet (-1). For A shifted back by one, wrap to Z.

A (position 2) → Z (-1, A wraps to Z)
N (position 3) → O (+1)
N (position 4) → M (-1)
E (position 5) → F (+1)
D (position 6) → C (-1)
