Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation:

The pattern from MATH → RFYM is that each letter is shifted forward by 5 positions in the alphabet (A → F, B → G, ..., Y → D, Z → E).

  • P → U (P + 5 = U)

  • H → M (H + 5 = M)

  • Y → D (Y + 5 wraps around: Y → Z → A → B → C → D)

  • S → X (S + 5 = X)

  • I → N (I + 5 = N)

  • C → H (C + 5 = H)

  • S → X (S + 5 = X)

Putting these together:

PHYSICS → UMDXNHX

Final answer: UMDXNHX
