Explanation

DPNNFODF : GTSTMWMP shows the pattern: +3, +2, +4, +3, +3, +4, +2, +2, +2: D(4)+3=G(7), P(16)+2=T(18), N(14)+4=S(19), N(14)+3=T(17)? No, T is 20, not 17. Let me check: D(4) to G(7) is +3, P(16) to T(20) is +4, N(14) to S(19) is +5, N(14) to T(20) is +6, F(6) to M(13) is +7, O(15) to W(23) is +8, D(4) to M(13) is +9, F(6) to P(16) is +10. Pattern: +3, +4, +5, +6, +7, +8, +9, +10. Applying to CFHJO: C(3)+3=F(6), F(6)+4=J(10), H(8)+5=M(13), J(10)+6=P(16), O(15)+7=V(22). This gives FJMPV, which is option D.
