Correct answer: D
CONCEPT
In a uniform letter-shift code, every source letter is replaced by the letter a fixed number of alphabet positions ahead. The same shift is applied independently to every letter, wrapping after Z when needed.
APPLICATION
Compare the example letter by letter: M→O, O→Q, T→V, H→J, E→G, and R→T. Every letter moves two positions forward, so the rule is a +2 alphabet shift.
Apply +2 to PARTNER: P→R, A→C, R→T, T→V, N→P, E→G, and R→T.
Keep the shifted letters in their original order to obtain RCTVPGT.
CROSS-CHECK
Reverse the process by moving every letter in RCTVPGT two positions backward; this reproduces PARTNER, confirming the rule.
Therefore, PARTNER is coded as RCTVPGT.
