Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. ZBETSVIU.

Understanding Application

The logic used here is:

SYMPHONY is coded as ZOPIQNZT

First, reverse the given code.

SYMPHONY = TZNQIPOZ

S + 1 = T

Y + 1 = Z

M + 1 = N

P + 1 = Q

H + 1 = I

O + 1 = P

N + 1 = O

Y + 1 = Z

Similarly,

Code for the word THURSDAY:

T + 1 = U

H + 1 = I

U + 1 = V

R + 1 = S

S + 1 = T

D + 1 = E

A + 1 = B

Y + 1 = Z

THURSDAY = ZBETSVIU

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
