Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Key insight: letters are alternately shifted: first letter by -1, second by +3, third by -1, fourth by +3, fifth by -1.
T -> S (shift -1)
E -> H (shift +3)
A -> Z (shift -1, wraps to Z)
C -> F (shift +3)
H -> G (shift -1)
Resulting code: SHZFG
None of the provided options match SHZFG. The option with text SGZFG (which was marked as correct) is incorrect because its second letter is G instead of the expected H.
