Answer
Correct Answer: VXI
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Analyze AGJ → DKO: A→D (+3), G→K (+4), J→O (+5). Apply the same progressive shifts to STD.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- S(19)+3=V(22)
- T(20)+4=X(24)
- D(4)+5=I(9)
Concept / Approach:Maintain the increasing shift pattern per position.
Step-by-Step Solution:Compute V, X, I → “VXI”.
Verification / Alternative check:Cross-check positions to avoid off-by-one errors.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They misapply or reorder the shifts.
Common Pitfalls:Applying a uniform shift to all letters instead of progressive +3,+4,+5.
Final Answer:VXI.
