JHFDA is related to OMKIF in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, NLJHE is related to SQOMJ. To which of the following options is KIGEB related, following the same logic?
PNLJH
PNLJG
QOMKI
QOMKH
PNLJG
Identify the reverse alphabetical pattern: each letter in the source shifts backwards by a fixed index (JHFDA to OMKIF) or logic follows a consistent backward jump. Actually, the pattern is: each letter is shifted to the letter exactly 5 positions later in the alphabet (J+5=O, H+5=M, F+5=K, D+5=I, A+5=F).

Actually, the pattern is: each letter is shifted to the letter exactly 5 positions later in the alphabet (J+5=O, H+5=M, F+5=K, D+5=I, A+5=F).
Analyze the pattern
Compare JHFDA to OMKIF. J(10) to O(15) is +5, H(8) to M(13) is +5, F(6) to K(11) is +5, D(4) to I(9) is +5, A(1) to F(6) is +5. The rule is each letter +5.
Apply to target
Apply the +5 rule to KIGEB: K(11)+5 = P(16), I(9)+5 = N(14), G(7)+5 = L(12), E(5)+5 = J(10), B(2)+5 = G(7). The resulting string is PNLJG.
A: PNLJH ends in H (incorrect), C: QOMKI is entirely wrong (incorrect), D: QOMKH is entirely wrong (incorrect).
B is correct because the transformation rule is to shift each letter forward by 5 positions in the English alphabet (K+5=P, I+5=N, G+5=L, E+5=J, B+5=G), yielding PNLJG.
In alphabetical coding questions, always convert letters to their numerical positions (A=1, B=2... Z=26) first to quickly spot constant addition or subtraction patterns.
