Correct answer: A

Compare the two words letter by letter: M to N, O to P, N to O, D to E, A to B, Y to Z.
Every letter has moved forward one place in the alphabet.
Apply the same rule to FRIDAY: F becomes G, R becomes S, I becomes J, D becomes E, A becomes B, Y becomes Z.
That gives GSJEBZ.

Worth noting

ESHCZX moves every letter backwards instead. Checking the last letter alone settles it: Y must become Z, not X.
