Answer:

A. HGMRU

Read Explanation:

Series:

D G I K J L N J O Q M P T P S _

We fill blanks in order:
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th blank.

Step 1: Split into 4 separate mini-series (column pattern method)

Write in groups of 4:

D G I
K
J L
N J O
Q M P

T P S _

Now read column-wise

Column 1:

_ , K, N, Q, T

K → N → Q → T
+3, +3, +3

So first term must be:
K − 3 = H

First blank = H

Column 2:

D, _, J, M, P

J → M → P
+3, +3

So pattern is +3 throughout.

D + 3 = G

Second blank = G

Column 3:

G, J, _, P, S

G → J = +3
J → M = +3
M → P = +3
P → S = +3

Third blank = M

Column 4:

I, L, O, ,

I → L = +3
L → O = +3
O → R = +3
R → U = +3

Fourth blank = R
Fifth blank = U

Final Answer:

H G M R U

So the correct answer is:
