CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
OGNAM is MANGO read from right to left, so the code simply reverses the word.
PEARL read backwards is L, R, A, E, P.
The code is LRAEP.
Worth noting
When the code uses exactly the same letters as the word, test reversal before trying any shift.
