Option A —
IR
To find the next pair of letters, we can look at the pattern for the first letter and the second letter separately.First letters (A, C, E, G): Starting at A, we skip one letter (B) to get to C. We skip D to get to E, and we skip F to get to G. Following this pattern of skipping one letter, we skip H, which brings us to I.
Second letters (Z, X, V, T): This pattern moves backward through the alphabet. Starting at Z, we skip one letter backward (Y) to get to X. We skip W to get to V, and we skip U to get to T. Following this pattern of skipping one letter backward, we skip S, which brings us to R.
Combining the two letters gives us IR.
