Explanation

The correct answer is C because the code follows a simple pattern where each letter is shifted two positions forward in the alphabetical order. In the word MARCH: M plus 2 is O A plus 2 is C R plus 2 is T C plus 2 is E H plus 2 is J Applying the same logic to the word RETURN: R plus 2 is T E plus 2 is G T plus 2 is V U plus 2 is W R plus 2 is T N plus 2 is P Therefore, RETURN becomes TGVWTP.
