The correct answer is

11110

The correct answer is 11110.

Letter Shifting (Caesar Cipher): Each letter is replaced by a letter a fixed number of positions away in the alphabet (e.g., A becomes D, B becomes E, if shifting by 3). Mixed Patterns: Combining two or more of the above rules. The problem solved here uses a combination of vowel/consonant classification and alphabetical position parity. Solving coding decoding problems requires careful observation, testing different hypotheses, and being familiar with common patterns like the one used in this question.
