Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Correct Option: (4) LM

Step-by-Step Solution:

1. First Letter Pattern (Alternating +4, +6):
   * ? -> L (12) + 4 = P (16)
   * P (16) + 6 = V (22)
   * V (22) + 4 = Z (26)
   * Z (26) + 6 = F (6)
   * F (6) + 4 = J (10)
   * J (10) + 6 = P (16)
   * P (16) + 4 = T (20)

2. Second Letter Pattern (Alternating +4, +5):
   * ? -> M (13) + 4 = Q (17)
   * Q (17) + 5 = V (22)
   * V (22) + 4 = Z (26)
   * Z (26) + 5 = E (5)
   * E (5) + 4 = I (9)
   * I (9) + 5 = N (14)
   * N (14) + 4 = R (18)

Correct Answer: LM
