Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Key insight: letters in odd positions are shifted forward by 2; letters in even positions are shifted backward by 2.
Apply the rule to each letter of RAISE:
R (position 1, odd) → R + 2 = T
A (position 2, even) → A - 2 = Y
I (position 3, odd) → I + 2 = K
S (position 4, even) → S - 2 = Q
E (position 5, odd) → E + 2 = G
Putting the transformed letters together gives: TYKQG.
