Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → A - II, B - III, C - I, D - IV
Comparing the words with the codes shows the rule: the first letter moves one place forward in the alphabet and the other three letters stay as they are.
(A) DATE — this matches (II) EATE. D moves to E; ATE is unchanged.
(B) FATE — this matches (III) GATE. F moves to G; ATE is unchanged.
(C) BLUE — this matches (I) CLUE. B moves to C; LUE is unchanged.
(D) SLEW — this matches (IV) TLEW. S moves to T; LEW is unchanged.
