C. QVB
D. LFZ
💡 Solution & Explanation
Each letter is replaced by its opposite letter in the alphabet (A ↔ Z, B ↔ Y, C ↔ X, and so on). A letter and its opposite always add up to 27 in position: S (19) → H (8), H (8) → S (19), I (9) → R (18), P (16) → K (11). For KEY: K → P, E → V, Y → B. So the code is PVB.
