- AOption (a)
A1@ : D4# : G7
- BOption (b)
B2% : E5^ : H8&
- COption (c)
C3* : F6( : I9)
- DOption (d)
D4_ : G8@ : K13

Correct answer
D4_ : G8@ : K13
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: Letters increase by +3 positions and numbers increase by +3 in each step.
Now,
A1@ : D4# : G7$
Letters →
A → D (+3)
D → G (+3)
Numbers →
1 → 4 (+3)
4 → 7 (+3)
Follows the pattern
B2% : E5^ : H8&
Letters →
B → E (+3)
E → H (+3)
Numbers →
2 → 5 (+3)
5 → 8 (+3)
Follows the pattern
C3* : F6( : I9)
Letters →
C → F (+3)
F → I (+3)
Numbers →
3 → 6 (+3)
6 → 9 (+3)
Follows the pattern
D4_ : G8@ : K13$
Letters →
D → G (+3)
G → K (+4) Should be J if +3)
Numbers →
4 → 8 (+4) (Should be +3)
8 → 13 (+5)
Does NOT follow the pattern
So, the odd group is D4_ : G8@ : K13$.
Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".$
