Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Solution explanation:
FHKO: F → H (+2), H → K (+3), K → O (+4).
CEHL: C → E (+2), E → H (+3), H → L (+4).
XZCG: X → Z (+2), Z → C (+3, wrapping past Z to A,B,C), C → G (+4).
ZBEJ: Z → B (+2, wrapping), B → E (+3), E → J (+5).
Conclusion: Three sequences follow the repeating increments +2, +3, +4 (with alphabet wrap-around where needed). The sequence ZBEJ breaks this pattern because its third step is +5 instead of +4, so ZBEJ is the odd one out.
