If the code for LAMP is MZNO, the rule is that

A. every letter moves forward one place
B. consonants move forward and vowels move backward one place
C. every letter moves backward one place
D. the word is reversed

Explanation

L becomes M and M becomes N, both forward, but A becomes Z and P becomes O, which is backward, so the rule depends on whether the letter is a vowel. Mixed rules of this kind are common at the harder end of coding questions. Testing each letter separately rather than assuming one uniform shift is essential.
