Correct Answer: KLMN
Explanation
Introduction / Context:“ABCD → OPQR” implies a constant forward shift in the alphabet. A → O is a +14 move, and the same applies to B → P, etc. Apply +14 to WXYZ.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- A(+14)→ O, B→ P, C→ Q, D→ R.
- W(+14) wraps: 23 + 14 = 37 → 37 − 26 = 11 → K.
- X→ L, Y→ M, Z→ N.
Concept / Approach:Use modular arithmetic over 26 letters (A=1…Z=26).
