To solve this question, we need to understand the pattern or logic behind the given code.
Let's analyze the given code for "FLOWER" and "EKNVDQ":
F --> E
L --> K
O --> N
W --> V
E --> D
R --> Q
From the analysis, we can observe that each letter in "FLOWER" is replaced by the previous letter in the alphabet.
Now, let's apply the same logic to the word "FRUIT":
F --> E
R --> Q
U --> T
I --> H
T --> S
So, the code for "FRUIT" would be "EQTHS".
Hence, the correct answer is option C) EQTHS.
