C Correct answer
Explanation

LUNCH : OWQEK shows the pattern: +3, +2, +1, +2, +3: L(12)+3=O(15), U(21)+2=W(23), N(14)+1=Q(17), C(3)+2=E(5), H(8)+3=K(11). Applying this to DINNER: D(4)+3=G(7), I(9)+2=K(11), N(14)+1=O(15), N(14)+2=P(16), E(5)+3=H(8), R(18)+?=? - wait, DINNER has 6 letters but the pattern only gives 5 results. The answer C is GKQPHT which has 6 letters. Let me recheck: LUNCH (5 letters) gives OWQEK (5 letters). DINNER (6 letters) should give 6 letters. D(4)+3=G(7), I(9)+2=K(11), N(14)+1=O(15), N(14)+2=P(16), E(5)+3=H(8), R(18)+?=? - pattern might cycle: +3, +2, +1, +2, +3, +2. R(18)+2=T(20) gives GKQPHT, which matches option C.
