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
For RSV−ZAD, moving each letter eight places forward gives R→Z, S→A and V→D.
For TUX−BCF, the same shift gives T→B, U→C and X→F.
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.
