Correct Answer:
Option A —
VFLHQFH
Here is how the code works:
Every letter in the word COMPUTER is shifted forward by exactly 3 letters in the alphabet to get FRPSXWHU.
C moves forward 3 steps to F
O moves forward 3 steps to R
M moves forward 3 steps to P
P moves forward 3 steps to S
U moves forward 3 steps to X
T moves forward 3 steps to W
E moves forward 3 steps to H
R moves forward 3 steps to U
Now, apply this exact same "shift forward by 3" rule to the word SCIENCE:
S moves forward 3 steps (T, U, V) → V
C moves forward 3 steps (D, E, F) → F
I moves forward 3 steps (J, K, L) → L
E moves forward 3 steps (F, G, H) → H
N moves forward 3 steps (O, P, Q) → Q
C moves forward 3 steps (D, E, F) → F
E moves forward 3 steps (F, G, H) → H
Putting it all together, SCIENCE becomes VFLHQFH.
