Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) ALOHVEGA

Explanation

Comparing ATTITUDE with TAUJUEDU, the rule is: swap the first two letters (AT becomes TA), change each of the 3rd, 4th and 5th letters to the next letter (T, I, T become U, J, U), and reverse the last three letters (UDE becomes EDU). CHILDREN gives HCJMENER in the same way. For LANGUAGE: the first two letters swap to A L, the next three (N, G, U) become O, H, V, and the last three (A, G, E) reverse to E, G, A. The code is ALOHVEGA.
