Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Pattern: Each letter of the original word is shifted forward in the alphabet by an amount equal to its position number (1st letter +1, 2nd +2, and so on).
Check with PLEASE: P(+1)=Q, L(+2)=N, E(+3)=H, A(+4)=E, S(+5)=X, E(+6)=K -> QNHEXK.
Apply to SHARMA: S(+1)=T, H(+2)=J, A(+3)=D, R(+4)=V, M(+5)=R, A(+6)=G -> TJDVRG.
