Select the option that is related to the third letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster.

Identify the positional distance between the two clusters: D-K (+7), F-M (+7), H-O (+7). Apply the same +7 shift to the second triplet.

Analyze the relationship between DFH and KMO
Convert letters to positions: D=4, F=6, H=8. K=11, M=13, O=15. The transformation is D(4)+7=K(11), F(6)+7=M(13), H(8)+7=O(15). The common difference is +7.
Apply the rule to PRT
Convert letters to positions: P=16, R=18, T=20. Adding 7 to each: P(16)+7=W(23), R(18)+7=Y(25), T(20)+7=A(27). Note: 27 maps back to 1 (A) because 26 is Z.
B: WYZ is incorrect because T+7 is A, not Z. C: VXZ is incorrect as it results from a +6 shift. D: WYA is identical to A, confirming WYA is the correct sequence.
A is correct because applying a constant shift of +7 to each letter in PRT (16, 18, 20) results in WYA (23, 25, 1).
For letter analogies, always write down the numerical position of the letters first to turn the visual pattern into a simple arithmetic addition or subtraction problem.
