  • CMPGBS
  • DMPEBR

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let's analyze the coding pattern for each letter in the word **'GOAL'**:
- G→+1H\displaystyle \text{G} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{H}
- O→+1P\displaystyle \text{O} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{P}
- A→+1B\displaystyle \text{A} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{B}
- L→+1M\displaystyle \text{L} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{M}
Each letter is shifted forward by 1\displaystyle 1 position in the alphabet.

We observe the same pattern for **'FROCK'** (coded as 'GSPTL', where the +1\displaystyle +1 shift rule applies: F→G\displaystyle \text{F} \to \text{G}, R→S\displaystyle \text{R} \to \text{S}, O→P\displaystyle \text{O} \to \text{P}, K→L\displaystyle \text{K} \to \text{L}, with a minor spelling discrepancy for C).

Applying this +1\displaystyle +1 alphabetical shift pattern to the word **'LOFAR'**:
- L→+1M\displaystyle \text{L} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{M}
- O→+1P\displaystyle \text{O} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{P}
- F→+1G\displaystyle \text{F} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{G}
- A→+1B\displaystyle \text{A} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{B}
- R→+1S\displaystyle \text{R} \xrightarrow{+1} \text{S}

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

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