Answer: Option
Explanation:
The middle letters are static, so concentrate on the first and third letters. The series involves an alphabetical order with a reversal of the letters. The first letters are in alphabetical order: F, G, H, I , J. The second and fourth segments are reversals of the first and third segments. The missing segment begins with a new letter.

The missing segment should begin with the letter "K". This rules out choices B and D, leaving choices A and C. Looking at the third letters, we see that they are in alphabetical order: A, F, I. The missing third letter should be "L".
Therefore, the correct answer is HAK.
Therefore, the correct answer is HAK.

This is very simple :).
First Letters sequential = F, G, H, I.
Second Letter is a static (not changing) letter = A.
Here's the game! Let's assume you are counting backwards //"started Z all the way to A"// when you get to.
gf (reversed) = fg.
ih (reversed) = hi.
kj (reversed) = Jk.
Therefore the answer is: JAK.
Hopefully I put a smile on your face :-).

Here,
First letters are......f, g, h, i. So next comes `j`.
Second letters are......a, a, a, a. So next letter also comes `a`.
Third letters are.......g, f, i, h. So here is reverse of f, g and i, h so next letter is reverse of j, k.
So answer : jak.
First letters are......f, g, h, i. So next comes `j`.
Second letters are......a, a, a, a. So next letter also comes `a`.
Third letters are.......g, f, i, h. So here is reverse of f, g and i, h so next letter is reverse of j, k.
So answer : jak.

Follow the alphabetical order
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N............
The middle letter A is static
Now the 1st and 3rd letter is changing
1st FAG
2nd GAF(change the position of the letter F and G)
3rd HAI
4th IAH(change the position of the letter H and I)
5th JAK
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N............
The middle letter A is static
Now the 1st and 3rd letter is changing
1st FAG
2nd GAF(change the position of the letter F and G)
3rd HAI
4th IAH(change the position of the letter H and I)
5th JAK
