Correct Answer: YQTNF

Solution : Given:
WORLD, XPSME, ?, ZRUOG

Add 1 to the place value of each letter of the previous term to obtain the next term –
WORLD→W + 1 = X; O + 1 = P; R + 1 = S; L + 1 = M; D + 1 = E
XPSME→X + 1 = Y; P + 1 = Q; S + 1 = T; M + 1 = N; E + 1 = F
YQTNF→Y + 1 = Z; Q + 1 = R; T + 1 = U; N + 1 = O; F + 1 = G
