The correct answer is
ETCPG

Analyzing the CRANE to DSBOF Code

The question provides a coded word example: "CRANE" is coded as "DSBOF". We need to determine the coding rule and apply it to find the code for "DSBOF".

By comparing the letters of "CRANE" with "DSBOF", we observe a consistent pattern:

  • C + 1 letter = D
  • R + 1 letter = S
  • A + 1 letter = B
  • N + 1 letter = O
  • E + 1 letter = F

The coding rule is to replace each letter with the next letter in the English alphabet (a +1 shift).

Applying the +1 Shift Rule to DSBOF

Now, we apply the same +1 shift rule to the word "DSBOF":

  • D + 1 letter = E
  • S + 1 letter = T
  • B + 1 letter = C
  • O + 1 letter = P
  • F + 1 letter = G

Therefore, applying the +1 letter shift coding rule to "DSBOF" results in the code "ETCPG".

This corresponds to Option 1.
