    Answer: D. CFTDQJOSJPM

    Explanation: If the alphabet is in the even position in the alphabet sequence, it is coded by moving one step backward. For example, B is in even position (2) so it is coded as A. Similarly, if the alphabet is in the odd position in the alphabet sequence, it is coded by moving one step forward. For example, O is in even position (15) so it is coded as P.
