Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Key idea: replace each letter by the previous letter in the English alphabet (shift each letter back by 1).

Verify with the given example ROBUST → QNATRS:

  • R → Q

  • O → N

  • B → A

  • U → T

  • S → R

  • T → S

Apply the same rule to Z X C M P:

  • Z → Y

  • X → W

  • C → B

  • M → L

  • P → O

Therefore the coded form of ZXCMP is YWBLO.
