The logic followed here is :- 

  • First and second letter - Difference between the position value according to English alphabetic series is (5).
  • First and third letter - Opposite letter pairs according to English alphabetic series.

So,

  • Option - (1) : HMS

F1 SSC  PRIYA 7 5 24 D5

  • Option - (2) : AFZ

F1 SSC  PRIYA 7 5 24 D6

  • Option - (3) : KQP

F1 SSC  PRIYA 7 5 24 D7

  • Option - (4) : DIW

F1 SSC  PRIYAS 7 5 24 D8

Thus, out of all the options 'KQP' is the odd one out as the difference between first and the second letter (6) respectively.

​Hence, "KQP" is the correct answer.
