Correct answer: C

To solve this analogy, we need to determine the transformation rule between the first pair, NPRT and MKIG, and apply it to the second pair, OQSU.

Step-by-Step Analysis
Analyze the transformation (NPRT to MKIG):

N → M: Backward 1 position (N is 14th, M is 13th)

P → K: Wait, let's look at the letters again. The solution states a "backward 1, 2, 3" pattern, but looking at the letters:

N (14) → M (13): -1

P (16) → K (11): -5

R (18) → I (9): -9

T (20) → G (7): -13

Actually, let's look at the letter positions relative to the end of the alphabet (reverse order):

N is 14, M is 13.

If we use the backward shift rule provided by the solution:

O (15) - 1 = N (14)

Q (17) - 2 = O (15)

S (19) - 3 = P (16)

U (21) - 4 = Q (17)

Correction based on the solution provided in the image: The solution identifies the answer as LJHF. Let's apply that:

O (15) - 2 = M (13) ... this does not match. Let's use the provided result LJHF:

O (15) → L (12): -3

Q (17) → J (10): -7

S (19) → H (8): -11

U (21) → F (6): -15
