The correct answer is

RUY

Logic: Within each cluster, the gap between letters is +3 and +4. The first letters of the four clusters jump by +5 each time.

Step 1 – within-cluster pattern: C(3) → F(6) → J(10) [+3, +4]; H(8) → K(11) → O(15) [+3, +4]; M(13) → P(16) → T(20) [+3, +4].

Step 2 – first-letter pattern: C(3) → H(8) → M(13) → R(18) [+5 each step].

Step 3 – build the missing cluster: R(18) → U(21) → Y(25), giving RUY.

Hence the answer is RUY.
