Correct answer: A
CONCEPT
A uniform letter-shift code replaces every letter with another letter at a fixed alphabetic offset.
The offset is found by comparing corresponding letters in the given word and its code.
APPLICATION
Compare the sample: T→V, E→G, A→C, C→E, H→J, E→G, and R→T. Every letter moves two places forward in the alphabet.
Apply the same shift to CHILDREN: C→E, H→J, I→K, L→N, D→F, R→T, E→G, and N→P.
Join the new letters in their original order to obtain EJKNFTGP.
CROSS-CHECK
Moving every letter of EJKNFTGP two places backward returns CHILDREN, confirming that the same rule was used throughout.
Therefore, CHILDREN is coded as EJKNFTGP.
