VYXW

The correct answer is

CGEF

To identify the odd group of letters among the given options, we will analyze the pattern of each set of letters based on their positions in the English alphabet.

FIHG:
F(6), I(9), H(8), G(7). The pattern is descending sequentially: +3, -1, -1.
CGEF:
C(3), G(7), E(5), F(6). The pattern is not consistently sequential: +4, -2, +1.
JMLK:
J(10), M(13), L(12), K(11). The pattern is descending sequentially: +3, -1, -1.
VYXW:
V(22), Y(25), X(24), W(23). The pattern is descending sequentially: +3, -1, -1.

Upon analysis, FIHG, JMLK, and VYXW follow a similar sequential descending pattern. However, CGEF does not follow this pattern and is therefore the odd set of letters.
