Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) KJIH

Explanation

The groups contain 1, 2, 3 and then 4 letters written backwards. Between the groups the skipped letters increase: after Z, XY are skipped, after V, UTS are skipped, and after P, ONML are skipped. So the next group starts at K and is KJIH.
