Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
1. Analyze the sequence of letters position-wise across the clusters: VACTUS, AUHNZM, FOMHEH, KIRBJA, PCWVOU. 2. The overarching pattern is: 1st letter (+5), 2nd letter (-6), 3rd letter (+5), 4th letter (-6), 5th letter (+5), 6th letter (-6). Example for 1st letter: V(22) + 5 = A(1), A(1) + 5 = F(6), F(6) + 5 = K(11), K(11) + 5 = P(16). 3. Check the 6th letter sequence: S(19) - 6 = M(13). The next should be M(13) - 6 = G(7). However, the third term has 'H'(8) instead of 'G'. Thus, the correct term should be FOMHEG. Final Answer: Option D
