Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Key idea: each letter is shifted three places forward in the alphabet.

  • Find the pattern from the example: ROAD → URDG shows R→U, O→R, A→D, D→G, which is a shift of +3 for every letter.

  • Apply the same +3 shift to SWAN: S→V, W→Z, A→D, N→Q.

  • Combine the results to get the encoded word: VZDQ.

Answer: VZDQ
