Answer: (B)
Explanation:
ACEG :Each letter has +2 alphabet in next letter
(A) + 2 = (C) ;
(C) + 2 = E ;
E + 2 = G = ACEG
for finding Next series first letter (A) + 1 = (B) ;
(B) + 2 = (D) ;
(D) + 2 = F ;
F + 2 = H = BDFH
for finding Next series take first letter (B) + 1 = (C) ;
(C) + 2 = E ;
E + 2 = G ;
E + 2 = I = CEGI
Similarly,
For finding Next series take first letter (C) + 1 = (D) ;
(D) + 2 = F ;
F + 2 = H ;
H + 2 = J ;
Hence DFHJ is correct Option.

X -3 = U
P -3 = M
O -3 = L
S -3 = P
E -3 = (B)
Hence Option (A) is correct Option.
