A QMBOU
B QMBOT
C QMBNU
D QMANU
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option A
• The pattern followed is that each letter in the word is shifted one position forward in the alphabet. • G (+1) → H • L (+1) → M • O (+1) → P • B (+1) → C • E (+1) → F • Applying the same pattern to 'PLANT': • P (+1) → Q • L (+1) → M • A (+1) → B • N (+1) → O • T (+1) → U • So, 'PLANT' is coded as 'QMBOU'.
