Understanding Application

In option 1 (OLEV - EVOL)

O = L (Just opposite in alphabetical order)

L = O (Just opposite in alphabetical order)

E = V (Just opposite in alphabetical order)

V = E (Just opposite in alphabetical order)

In option 2 (ARNI - RMIZ) 

A = Z (Just opposite in alphabetical order)

R = I (Just opposite in alphabetical order)

N = M (Just opposite in alphabetical order)

I = R  (Just opposite in alphabetical order)

In option 3 (TSRA - ZIHG) 

T = G (Just opposite in alphabetical order)

S = H (Just opposite in alphabetical order)

R = I (Just opposite in alphabetical order)

 A = Z (Just opposite in alphabetical order)

In option 4 (XHEP - KVRA)

Option 4 doesn't follow the same pattern.

Hence, Option 4 is an odd one.
