  1. A
    EWXF
  2. B
    EUWG
  3. C
    EUXG
  4. D
    EVXF

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's examine the shift logic for each letter in 'GARB' 'HEAR' using alphabetical position values:
*
*
* or looking at reverse positions/vowels, let's look at numerical difference:
*

Notice the shifting sequence values are squares of consecutive integers: . Let's verify:

*
*
*
*

Applying the exact same square addition logic () to 'DROP':

*
*
*
*

Thus, 'DROP' becomes 'EVXF'.
