Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) TUVWX

Explanation

Group lengths grow 2,3,4, so the next contains five letters. Their starting alphabet positions are 2,6,12, increasing by 4 then 6; next increment 8 gives position 20, T. Thus the group is **TUVWX, B**, also consistent with successive skipped gaps of 2,3,4 letters.
