If 'FLOWER' is coded as 'GNPXGT', how is 'GARDEN' coded in that same language?

Identify the positional increment pattern from the first word and apply it directly to each letter of the target word from left to right.
Identify the positional increment pattern from the first word and apply it directly to each letter of the target word from left to right.
Analyze the Coding Pattern
Examine the transformation from FLOWER to GNPXGT letter by letter based on alphabetical positions: F to G (+1), L to N (+2), O to P (+1), W to X (+1), E to G (+2), R to T (+2).
Apply the Pattern to GARDEN
Apply the respective positional shifts to each letter of GARDEN: G (+1) becomes H, A (+2) becomes C, R (+2) becomes T, D (+2) becomes F, E (+2) becomes G, and N (+2) becomes P, resulting in HCTFGP.
B: The second letter is B instead of C. C: The final letter is O instead of P. D: The final letter is R instead of P.
A is correct because applying the verified letter transformation pattern to GARDEN yields HCTFGP.
Always note the exact positional shift for each index rather than assuming a uniform shift across the entire word.
