Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Key pattern: letters are shifted alternately by −1 and +1, starting with −1 for the first letter.
Example check with SISTER → RJRUDS confirms the pattern: S→R (−1), I→J (+1), S→R (−1), T→U (+1), E→D (−1), R→S (+1).
Apply the same pattern to BROTHER:
B → A (−1)
R → S (+1)
O → N (−1)
T → U (+1)
H → G (−1)
E → F (+1)
R → Q (−1)
Final coded word: ASNUGFQ
Note: None of the provided options match this correct coded form; the option that is closest has the correct first six letters but the final letter is S instead of the required Q.
