IKMO
This is a letter-analogy problem in which each given term is transformed into its partner by a fixed positional rule, and the same rule must be applied to the last term.
Look at the first pair, IGEC → DFHJ. The output letters D, F, H, J move upward in equal steps of two: D(+2)F(+2)H(+2)J. So the answer is always a rising chain of alternate letters.
Check with the second pair, USQO → PRTV. Again the output P, R, T, V is an ascending +2 chain, confirming the rule.
Notice the input terms themselves are descending alternate letters (I,G,E,C and U,S,Q,O and N,L,J,H), while each output is the corresponding ascending alternate chain.
Apply this to NLJH. The letters involved are H, J, L, N; arranged as an ascending +2 chain starting from the smallest that matches the option format gives I, K, M, O.
Reading them together, the required term is IKMO, an unbroken ascending sequence of alternate letters.
The key concept is spotting that the transformation reverses a descending alternate series into an ascending one. Hence the answer is IKMO.
