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

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

 

The logic;

(arranging the word in alphabetical series)

So,

TEDIOUS  =  DEIOSTU

D(4)  +4= H

E(5)  -4= A

I(9)  +4= M

O(15)  -4= K

S(19)  +4= W

T(20)  -4= P

U(21)  +4= Y

Similarly,

PROFUSE  =  EFOPRSU

E(5)  +4= I

F(6)  -4= B

O(15)  +4= S

P(16)  -4= L

R(18)  +4= V

S(19)  -4= O

U(21)  +4= Y

Thus, lBSLVOY is correct.
