Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 
Step 1: The first two letters from the left side shift one place forward and the first two letters from the right side interchange their places. The middle letter of the word i.e. E comes to the front (1st place) on the left side of the word.
Step 2: The first two letters from the left side interchange their places. The last letter of the word i.e. R (from left) comes in the middle. 3rd and 4th letters i.e. P and A respectively shift one place forward (3rd shifts to 4th and 4th shifts to 5th).
Now step 1 repeats and then step 2 repeats in the series.
So, option 2 is correct.
