Correct Answer:
Option B —
F
Think of the alphabet in terms of its standard numerical positions (Z = 26, Y = 25, X = 24, and so on):Z is the 26th letter.
X is the 24th letter (moved back 2 steps from Z).
U is the 21st letter (moved back 3 steps from X).
Q is the 17th letter (moved back 4 steps from U).
L is the 12th letter (moved back 5 steps from Q).
Following this pattern, the next step must move back 6 steps from L.
Counting back 6 steps from the 12th letter brings us to the 6th letter of the alphabet, which is F.
Therefore, the correct choice is B) F.
