The correct answer is

SOCQ

Analyse each position separately (A=1, B=2, …):

1st letter: S, S, S, S, S — constant.

2nd letter: C(3) → F(6) → I(9) → L(12) → O(15). Pattern: +3.

3rd letter: E(5) → K(11) → Q(17) → W(23) → 29. Pattern: +6. 29 mod 26 = 3 → C.

4th letter: G(7) → P(16) → Y(25) → 34 (=H, since 34 mod 26 = 8) → 43. Pattern: +9. 43 mod 26 = 17 → Q.
