Correct answer: A

Key insight: replace each letter with its opposite in the alphabet (A↔Z, B↔Y, C↔X, …).

  1. Verify the given example: SKILLS → HPROOH because S→H, K→P, I→R, L→O, L→O, S→H.

  2. Apply the same mapping to PLACES:

    • P → K

    • L → O

    • A → Z

    • C → X

    • E → V

    • S → H

    So PLACES becomes KOZXVH.

Therefore the coded form of PLACES is KOZXVH.
