Solution

The correct option is D K
Since each letter in the above sequence represents a number, let's write down the sequence as:

Thus, decoding the sequence B, C, E, G, M, Q, S, we get:
B = 2
C = 3
E = 5
G = 7
M = 13
Q = 17
S = 19

The number sequence would be: 2, 3, 5, 7, __ , 13, 17, 19

The sequence above represents prime numbers, and the prime number between 7 and 13 is 11.

The letter corresponding to 11 is K.

Hence, the missing letter from the given sequence is K.
