Options:

OMYIZRU

XOYHCZU 

XYOHBCU

OHYXZCU

Correct Answer:

OMYIZRU

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;

(letters at even positions of the word are coded according to the opposite letter )

So,

P +6 → V

E → V                   (opposite of E)

R -6 → L

M → N

I +6 → O

T → G

Similarly,

I +6 → O

N → M

E -6 → Y

R → I

T +6 → Z

I → R

A -6 → U

Thus, OMYIZRU is correct.
