A2@ : C4# : E6

• Letters: A → C → E (+2, +2)

• Numbers: 2 → 4 → 6 (+2, +2)

• Symbols: @ → # → (changing consistently)

  Option 2

B3% : D5^ : F7&

• Letters: B → D → F (+2, +2)

• Numbers: 3 → 5 → 7 (+2, +2)

  Option 3

C4 : E6( : G8)*

• Letters: C → E → G (+2, +2)

• Numbers: 4 → 6 → 8 (+2, +2)

  Option 4
