Select the odd letters from the given alternatives.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

LKM

The pattern is three consecutive letters in reverse alphabetical order: EDC (E→D→C), IHG (I→H→G), QPO (Q→P→O) — each step is −1.

But LKM goes L→K (−1) then K→M (+2), breaking the rule. Hence LKM is the odd one out.
