Answer:

C. GZNB

Read Explanation:

Let's examine each position in the letter cluster separately.

Series:

  • GBDF

  • GHMR

  • GNVD

  • GTEP

  • ?

1st letter

G, G, G, G → constant → G

2nd letter

B (2), H (8), N (14), T (20)

Each increases by +6:

  • 20 + 6 = 26 → Z

3rd letter

D (4), M (13), V (22), E (5)

Each increases by +9 (wrapping around after Z):

  • 5 + 9 = 14 → N

4th letter

F (6), R (18), D (4), P (16)

Each increases by +12 (wrapping around):

  • 16 + 12 = 28 → 2 → B

So the next letter-cluster is:
