    1. BFD
    2. EIH
    3. KOM
    4. TXV

    Thus, observe that there is a difference of 4 positions between the 1st and 2nd
    alphabet while a difference of 2 positions between 2nd and 3rd alphabets. This is
    true for all the options except second option and hence, option EIH does not
    belong to the group.
