The correct answer is

IP9

To find the pattern of the given sequence, the relationship between the letters and numbers is explained below.

Alphabet Pattern:

First letter: $\text{A} \xrightarrow{+2} \text{C} \xrightarrow{+2} \text{E} \xrightarrow{+2} \text{G} \xrightarrow{+2} \text{\textbf{I}}$

Second letter: $\text{H} \xrightarrow{+2} \text{J} \xrightarrow{+2} \text{L} \xrightarrow{+2} \text{N} \xrightarrow{+2} \text{\textbf{P}}$

Number Pattern:

The numbers are decreasing by $3$ in each term: $21 \xrightarrow{-3} 18 \xrightarrow{-3} 15 \xrightarrow{-3} 12 \xrightarrow{-3} \text{\textbf{9}}$

Combining both patterns gives us the next term.
