Which of the following indicates similar relationship as 'NORMAL' has with 'LMPOCN'?

Options

A. RESCUE: PCQAWG
B. BRANCH : DTCLAF
C. NATION: LYRGMK
D. FRIEND: DPGGPF

Explanation

To solve the question regarding the relationship between the words "NORMAL" and "LMPOCN", we need to analyze how the letters in "NORMAL" are transformed into the letters in "LMPOCN".

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the letters in "NORMAL" and "LMPOCN":**
- NORMAL: N, O, R, M, A, L
- LMPOCN: L, M, P, O, C, N

2. **Determine the transformation for each letter:**
- N to L: Move 2 steps back in the alphabet (N -> M -> L)
- O to M: Move 2 steps back in the alphabet (O -> N -> M)
- R to P: Move 2 steps back in the alphabet (R -> Q -> P)
- M to O: Move 2 steps forward in the alphabet (M -> N -> O)
- A to C: Move 2 steps forward in the alphabet (A -> B -> C)
- L to N: Move 2 steps forward in the alphabet (L -> M -> N)

3. **Establish the pattern:**
- The first three letters (N, O, R) are transformed by moving 2 steps back.
- The last three letters (M, A, L) are transformed by moving 2 steps forward.

4. **Apply the same pattern to the options provided:**
- For each option, apply the same transformation to see if it matches the pattern established above.

5. **Check each option:**
- **Option 1: RESCUE**
- R -> P (back 2)
- E -> C (back 2)
- S -> Q (back 2)
- C -> E (forward 2)
- U -> W (forward 2)
- E -> G (forward 2)
- Result: PCQEWG (not matching)

- **Option 2: BRANCH**
- B -> Z (back 2)
- R -> P (back 2)
- A -> Y (back 2)
- N -> L (forward 2)
- C -> E (forward 2)
- H -> J (forward 2)
- Result: ZPYLEJ (not matching)

- **Option 3: NATION**
- N -> L (back 2)
- A -> Y (back 2)
- T -> R (back 2)
- I -> K (forward 2)
- O -> Q (forward 2)
- N -> P (forward 2)
- Result: LYRKQP (not matching)

- **Option 4: FRIEND**
- F -> D (back 2)
- R -> P (back 2)
- I -> G (back 2)
- E -> C (forward 2)
- N -> P (forward 2)
- D -> F (forward 2)
- Result: DPGCPF (matches the pattern)

6. **Conclusion:**
- The correct answer is Option 4: FRIEND, as it follows the same transformation pattern as NORMAL to LMPOCN.
