Correct answer: B

Key mapping: map each coded letter to its plaintext letter using the given pairs.

  • L -> b

  • X -> a

  • P -> e

  • Z -> s

  • J -> p

  • Y -> r

  • Q -> h

  • M -> i

  • N -> g

  • B -> t

Decoding the coded word ZBYXMNQB:

  • Z -> s

  • B -> t

  • Y -> r

  • X -> a

  • M -> i

  • N -> g

  • Q -> h

  • B -> t

Putting the decoded letters together gives: STRAIGHT
