Correct answer: A
Explanation
Compare letter by letter: P to R, L to N, A to C, N to P, T to V. Each letter moves 2 places forward.
Apply +2 to GRAIN: G to I, R to T, A to C, I to K, N to P.
The code is ITCKP.
Worth noting
EPYGL moves every letter 2 places back instead of forward. ITBKP moves the A only one place.
