Answer:

C. AYC

Read Explanation:

Let’s look at the pattern correctly and simply, using +2 alphabet shifts.

WUY KIM YWA MKO ?


1st → 3rd

W → Y (+2)
U → W (+2)
Y → A (+2, circular)

So:
WUY → YWA ✔️


2nd → 4th

K → M (+2)
I → K (+2)
M → O (+2)

So:
KIM → MKO ✔️


The pattern is:

  • Each term becomes the term two places later by adding +2 to every letter

So the 5th term will be:

  • 3rd term (YWA) + 2

Y → A
W → Y
A → C
