CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
A→B is +1, C→E is +2, E→H is +3: the shifts grow by one each time.
G+1 = H, I+2 = K, K+3 = N, so GIK : HKN matches.
GIK : HJL uses +1 throughout, GIK : IKM +2 throughout, and GIK : HLO +1, +3, +4.
Worth noting
Check every position separately; a pair that is right in the first letter can still be wrong later.
