Concept: In a letter analogy of the form A : B :: C : ?, the transformation seen in the first pair is a fixed rule that must be applied to the second pair's letters. Reversing a sequence of letters means writing them in the opposite order — for a three-letter group, the middle letter stays in place and the two outer letters swap.

Applying it here: J, K, L reversed becomes L, K, J: K stays in the middle while J and L swap ends. Applying the identical reversal to Y, Z, A: Z stays in the middle while Y and A swap ends, giving A, Z, Y as the second pair's answer.

Cross-check: Both pairs follow the same rule end to end — the middle letter of the first term reappears unchanged in the middle of the second term, and the two outer letters simply exchange positions. That consistency confirms a straightforward reversal, not any alphabet shift.

Why the other options don't fit:

• XZY shifts the first letter back one alphabet position (Y to X) instead of swapping the outer letters.

• CBA reverses a different letter set (A, B, C) rather than the letters actually given (Y, Z, A).

• JKL simply repeats the original first-pair letters unreversed.
