C Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern alternates between moving one letter forward (+1) and one letter backward (-1) in the alphabet: T→U (+1), R→Q (-1), A→B (+1), D→C (-1), E→F (+1). Applying this to PLATE: P→Q (+1), L→K (-1), A→B (+1), T→S (-1), E→F (+1), giving QKBSF.

AI explanation

The code shifts each letter of TRADE alternately +1 then -1 through the alphabet (T→U, R→Q, A→B, D→C, E→F), giving UQBCF. Applying that same alternating +1/-1 pattern to PLATE letter by letter (P→Q, L→K, A→B, T→S, E→F) produces QKBSF, matching the marked answer.
