B. KLMA
C. LLMA
D. KLLA

Answer

To solve the problem, we need to identify the pattern in the given series of alphabets: ELFA, GLHA, ILJA, ?, MLNA.

Let's break down the series step by step:

1. **Identify the first letters:**
- The first letters in the series are: E, G, I, ?, M.
- The pattern here is that each letter increases by 2 positions in the alphabet:
- E (5th letter) → G (7th letter) → I (9th letter) → ? → M (13th letter).
- Therefore, the missing letter must be K (11th letter).

2. **Identify the second letters:**
- The second letters in the series are: L, L, L, ?, L.
- Here, the second letter remains constant as L throughout the series.
- Thus, the missing letter is also L.

3. **Identify the third letters:**
- The third letters in the series are: F, H, J, ?, N.
- The pattern here is that each letter increases by 2 positions in the alphabet:
- F (6th letter) → H (8th letter) → J (10th letter) → ? → N (14th letter).
- Therefore, the missing letter must be L (12th letter).

4. **Identify the fourth letters:**
- The fourth letters in the series are: A, A, A, ?, A.
- Similar to the second letter, the fourth letter remains constant as A throughout the series.
- Thus, the missing letter is also A.

Combining all the identified letters, we find that the missing term in the series is **KLLA**.

Thus, the complete series is: ELFA, GLHA, ILJA, **KLLA**, MLNA.

### Final Answer:
The missing term is **KLLA**.
