Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Solution:
Look at each letter position separately and find its pattern.
First letters: T, N, H, B. Each step subtracts 6 (T → N → H → B → V). So the next first letter is V.
Second letters: O, O, O, O. This position remains O, so the next second letter is O.
Third letters: N, V, D, L. These advance by +8 modulo 26 (N→V, V→D, D→L), so the next third letter is T.
Fourth letters: U, W, Y, A. These advance by +2 modulo 26 (U→W→Y→A), so the next fourth letter is C.
Combining these letters gives VOTC as the missing term.
