Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Analyze the position shifts for each cluster:

LQV: L(12) → Q(17) [+5], Q(17) → V(22) [+5]

DIN: D(4) → I(9) [+5], I(9) → N(14) [+5]

PTX: P(16) → T(20) [+4], T(20) → X(24) [+4]

AFK: A(1) → F(6) [+5], F(6) → K(11) [+5]

Conclusion: Since LQV, DIN, and AFK all follow a +5 shift pattern, PTX is the odd one out as it follows a +4 shift pattern.
