CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
First letters: A = 1, C = 3, F = 6, J = 10. The jumps are 2, 3, 4, so the next jump is 5, giving 15, which is O.
Second letters: Z, X, U, Q are the opposites of A, C, F, J (each pair of positions adds to 27).
The opposite of O is , which is L. The next pair is OL.
Worth noting
OK moves the second letter back 6 instead of using the opposite rule. NM uses a jump of 4 again.
