Correct Answer

✅ Option c — MPGBS

Let's analyze the coding pattern for each letter in the word **'GOAL'**:
-

\displaystyle \text{G} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{H}

\displaystyle \text{O} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{P}

\displaystyle \text{A} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{B}

\displaystyle \text{L} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{M}

Each letter is shifted forward by

\displaystyle 1

position in the alphabet.

We observe the same pattern for **'FROCK'** (coded as 'GSPTL', where the

\displaystyle +1

shift rule applies:

\displaystyle \text{F} \to \text{G}

\displaystyle \text{R} \to \text{S}

\displaystyle \text{O} \to \text{P}

\displaystyle \text{K} \to \text{L}

, with a minor spelling discrepancy for C).

Applying this

\displaystyle +1

alphabetical shift pattern to the word **'LOFAR'**:
-

\displaystyle \text{L} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{M}

\displaystyle \text{O} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{P}

\displaystyle \text{F} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{G}

\displaystyle \text{A} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{B}

\displaystyle \text{R} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{S}

The resulting code for 'LOFAR' is **'MPGBS'**.

Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
