Explanation

To find the logic, look at the numerical positions of the letters in the word ZERO and its code CHUR. Z is the 26th letter, and C is the 3rd letter. Moving 3 steps forward from Z brings you to C. E is the 5th letter, and H is the 8th letter. This is a move of plus 3. R is the 18th letter, and U is the 21st letter. This is a move of plus 3. O is the 15th letter, and R is the 18th letter. This is a move of plus 3. The pattern is to move each letter forward by 3 positions in the alphabet. Applying this plus 3 logic to PLAYER: P plus 3 is S. L plus 3 is O. A plus 3 is D. Y plus 3 is B. E plus 3 is H. R plus 3 is U. Combining these letters gives SODBHU, which corresponds to option D.
