Concept/ApproachTreat it as three parallel arithmetic progressions on letters with unit step.Step-by-Step calculationNext term = (M+1, D+1, N+1) = (N, E, O) ⇒ NEO.Verification/AlternativeCheck adjacency: NEO precedes nothing given, but backward check confirms MDN → NEO is +1 in all positions.Common pitfallsAltering only one position or skipping letters due to misalignment.Final AnswerNEO
