Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Rule: letters in odd positions are shifted forward by one (next letter); letters in even positions are shifted backward by one (previous letter).

  • Position 1: C -> B (encoded letter C; original is previous letter B)

  • Position 2: Q -> R (encoded letter Q; original is next letter R)

  • Position 3: F -> E (encoded letter F; original is previous letter E)

  • Position 4: Z -> A (encoded letter Z; original is next letter A)

  • Position 5: E -> D (encoded letter E; original is previous letter D)

Putting these letters together gives: BREAD
