A Correct answer
Explanation

This is a letter substitution cipher where each letter is shifted forward by 4 positions: V→Z, X→B, U→Y, P→T, L→P, V→Z, H→L gives ZBYTPTL (not matching). Let me recalculate: Actually, V+4=Z, X+4=B, U+4=Y, P+4=T, L+4=P, V+4=Z, H+4=L. But SURMISE doesn't match this pattern. The actual cipher appears to be: V→S (-3), X→U (-3), U→R (-3), P→M (-3), L→I (-3), V→S (-3), H→E (-3). So each letter is shifted back by 3. Applying this to SHDVD: S→P, H→E, D→A, V→S, D→A gives PEASA.
