Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

The coding pattern adds 2 to the alphabetical position of each letter. For 'GERMANY': G(7)+2=9, E(5)+2=7, R(18)+2=20, M(13)+2=15, A(1)+2=3, N(14)+2=16, Y(25)+2=27.

Applying this to 'FRANCE': F(6)+2=8, R(18)+2=20, A(1)+2=3, N(14)+2=16, C(3)+2=5, E(5)+2=7. The code is 8, 20, 3, 16, 5, 7.
