Which letter-cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series? ZVRN, VSPM, RPNL, ?, JJJJ

1. RMLN
2. RNLL
3. RNLK
4. NMLK

Correct answer: NMLK

Solution

Each position in the cluster follows a consistent backward shift. Applying the same positional pattern to the missing term gives NMLK. This also leads naturally to the final term JJJJ.
