  1. APRYG
  2. BORTG
  3. CNPUH
  4. DORYHCorrect

Explanation

The correct option is D because the code follows a simple pattern where each letter is shifted forward by three positions in the alphabetical order. In the first example SAND becomes VDQG: S plus 3 is V A plus 3 is D N plus 3 is Q D plus 3 is G In the second example BIRD becomes ELUG: B plus 3 is E I plus 3 is L R plus 3 is U D plus 3 is G Applying the same logic to LOVE: L plus 3 is O O plus 3 is R V plus 3 is Y E plus 3 is H Therefore, the code for LOVE is ORYH.
