Given:
BYM, CWL, DUK, ESJ, ?
Add 1 to the place value of the first, and subtract 2 and 1 in the second and third letters respectively to obtain the next term of the given series.

DUK→D + 1 = E; U – 2 = S; K – 1 = J→ESJ
ESJ→E + 1 = F; S – 2 = Q; J – 1 = I→FQI
So, the required missing term of the series is FQI. Hence, the first option is correct.
