G
G+2
I
I+2
K
K+2
M
The first letter increases by 2 positions in alphabetical order. Thus, the missing first letter is K.
Step 2: Analyze the 2nd letter of each term
Every single term has L as its second letter (ELFA, GLHA, ILJA, etc.).
The second letter remains constant. Thus, the missing second letter is L.
Step 3: Analyze the 3rd letter of each term
F+2
H
H+2
J
J+2
L
L+2
N
The third letter increases by 2 positions in alphabetical order. Thus, the missing third letter is L.
Step 4: Analyze the 4th letter of each term
Every single term has A as its final letter (ELFA, GLHA, ILJA, etc.).
The fourth letter remains constant. Thus, the missing fourth letter is A.
Conclusion
Combining all the calculated positions together:
1st Letter=K
2nd Letter=L
3rd Letter=L
4th Letter=A
The missing term in the sequence is KLLA.
Correct Option: D
