Correct answer: D

Concept

In a letter analogy, corresponding letters are compared by their positions in the alphabet.

A uniform forward shift is applied to each letter separately; after Z, counting wraps back to A.

Application

  1. For RSV−ZAD, moving each letter eight places forward gives R→Z, S→A and V→D.

  2. For TUX−BCF, the same shift gives T→B, U→C and X→F.

  3. Applying the rule to EFI gives E→M, F→N and I→Q, so the resulting pair is EFI−MNQ.

Cross-check and contrast

Reversing the shift from MNQ by eight places returns M→E, N→F and Q→I.

  • EEG−LMP: advancing EEG by eight places produces MMO.

  • EEG−MNQ: advancing EEG by eight places also produces MMO.

  • EFI−LNP: advancing EFI by eight places produces MNQ.

Therefore, the required pair is EFI−MNQ.
