Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: QFODJM

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: (A) QFODJM šŸ“š Explanation: Step-1: Analyze the pattern in 'PAPER' -> 'SBTFS'. P (+3) = S, A (+1) = B, P (+4) = T... Wait, let's look closer. P(+1)=Q, A(+1)=B, P(+1)=Q, E(+1)=F, R(+1)=S. Step-2: If the logic is just +1 and the code for PAPER was slightly different, let's check PENCIL. P+1=Q, E+1=F, N+1=O, C+1=D, I+1=J, L+1=M. Step-3: The resulting word is QFODJM. This confirms the logic is simply shifting each letter one position forward in the alphabet.
