C Correct answer
Explanation

The rule for CHEERS→EHCSRE is: swap the first two letters (CH→HC), then reverse the remaining four letters (EERS→SRE). Applying to BASKET: swap BA→AB, reverse KET→TEK, giving ABTEK+SABTEK. Actually, re-examining: CHEERS (6 letters) becomes EHCSRE. Position 1 and 2 swap, positions 3-6 reverse. For BASKET: BA→SA (swap), KET→TEK (reverse), giving SABTEK.
