Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Pattern: reverse the word, then move each letter ONE step back in the alphabet (-1).
Step 1 - Reverse the given word: MONKEY -> YEKNOM.
Step 2 - Shift each reversed letter back by one (-1): Y->X, E->D, K->J, N->M, O->N, M->L. Result: XDJMNL, which matches the given code. So the rule is confirmed.
Apply the same rule to TIGER:
Step 1 - Reverse: TIGER -> REGIT.
Step 2 - Shift each letter back by one (-1): R->Q, E->D, G->F, I->H, T->S.
Therefore TIGER is written as QDFHS.
