Solution :

`. 2. Clean answer: `PUYK` 3. Format requirements: - Separate paragraphs with `

...

` - Use `
` for line breaks within a paragraph. - Do NOT use LaTeX ($..$). Use HTML _{/^{and MathML ` $`.
- Never use `display="block"` in ` ` tags (omit or `display=""`).
- Do NOT use HTML hex or decimal entities (like `−` or `−`). Use raw unicode like `-`, `+`, `=`, `⇒`.
- State the correct answer/option clearly at the beginning of the explanation.

Let's double-check formatting rules:
- HTML / MathML formatting:
- Line containing ` ... ` placed in its own paragraph `$ ...
` or has `
` before and after.

Let's write out the clean answer and solution html.

The correct answer is PUYK.
To solve this letter-analogy problem, we examine the position of each letter in the English alphabet (where A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, ..., Z = 26) and identify the pattern applied to each position.
Step 1: Analyze the pattern in the first pair (VASE to ZEOA)

- 1st letter: V (22) + 4 = Z (26)

- 2nd letter: A (1) + 4 = E (5)

- 3rd letter: S (19) - 4 = O (15)

- 4th letter: E (5) - 4 = A (1)
The pattern applied to the letters is (+4, +4, -4, -4).
Step 2: Verify the pattern with the second pair (DIKW to HMGS)

- 1st letter: D (4) + 4 = H (8)

- 2nd letter: I (9) + 4 = M (13)

- 3rd letter: K (11) - 4 = G (7)

- 4th letter: W (23) - 4 = S (19)
The pattern (+4, +4, -4, -4) is confirmed.
Step 3: Apply the same pattern to LQCO

- 1st letter: L (12) + 4 = P (16)

- 2nd letter: Q (17) + 4 = U (21)

- 3rd letter: C (3) - 4 = Y (25, wrapping backwards in the alphabet)

- 4th letter: O (15) - 4 = K (11)
Combining these letters gives the final word PUYK.}}
