Options:

VKNRMJ

UKORNG

TJNSMH

TNOSMI

Correct Answer:

UKORNG

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;

(each letter in the word is shifted by 2 of positions in the alphabet)

So,

P  +2  R

O  +2 Q

R  +2 T

T  +2 V

A  +2 C

L  +2 N

Similarly,

S +2  U

I +2  K

M +2  O

P +2  R

L +2  N

E +2  G

Thus, UKORNG is correct.
