MHUVHB

Solution :

The correct option is MHUVHB.

To determine how the word "JERSEY" is coded, let us first analyze the relationship between the letters in the given examples.

Example 1: "FUTURE" is coded as "IXWXUH"
If we look at the alphabetical positions of the letters, we can observe the following shifts:

F(6)+3=I(9)

U(21)+3=X(24)

T(20)+3=W(23)

U(21)+3=X(24)

R(18)+3=U(21)

E(5)+3=H(8)

Each letter of the word is shifted forward by 3 positions in the English alphabet.

Example 2: "ISLAND" is coded as "LVODQG"
Let us verify the same pattern here:

I(9)+3=L(12)

S(19)+3=V(22)

L(12)+3=O(15)

A(1)+3=D(4)

N(14)+3=Q(17)

D(4)+3=G(7)

The pattern is confirmed to be a constant shift of +3.

Coding the word "JERSEY":
Applying the +3 shift to each letter of "JERSEY":

J(10)+3=M(13)

E(5)+3=H(8)

R(18)+3=U(21)

S(19)+3=V(22)

E(5)+3=H(8)

Y(25)+3=B(282826=2)

Putting the letters together, we get MHUVHB.
