Correct answer: B

To solve this coding puzzle, let's analyze the relationship between the letters in the word "TELEPHONE" and its code "FOPIQFMFU".

Step-by-Step Analysis
Observe the pattern:

T E L E P H O N E

F O P I Q F M F U

Let's reverse the word "TELEPHONE" to get E N O H P E L E T.
Now compare:

E (+1) = F

N (+1) = O

O (+1) = P

H (+1) = I

P (+1) = Q

E (+1) = F

L (+1) = M

E (+1) = F

T (+1) = U

The pattern is to reverse the word and then shift each letter forward by one (+1).

Apply to "MYSORE":

Reverse "MYSORE" to get E R O S Y M.

Apply the +1 shift to each letter:

E (+1) = F

R (+1) = S

O (+1) = P

S (+1) = T

Y (+1) = Z

M (+1) = N

The resulting code is FSPTZN.
