Correct Answer:

BDGINPQSCE

Explanation:

1  2    3    4   5    6   7     8    9  10  11  12  13

 A   B   C    D   E    F   G    H    I    J    K    L   M

 ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓     ↓   ↓    ↓     ↓   ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓

 Z   Y    X   W   V    U   T    S    R   Q   P    O   N

26  25  24  23  22  21  20  19  18  17  16  15  14

 

The logic here is;

(each letter of the given word is coded as its previous as well as following letter)

So,

M 13 --> L 12  N 14

U 21 --> T 20  V 22

S 19 --> R 18  T 20

I 9 --> H 8  J 10

C 3 --> B 2  D 4

Similarly,

C 3 --> B 2  D 4

H 8 --> G 7  I 9

O 15 --> N 14  P 16

R 18 --> Q 17  S 19

D 4 --> C 3  E 5

Thus, the answer is BDGINPQSCE
