The pattern followed in the given series is: F2 Savita SSC 25-4-23 D17

The star moves between two places in every step.
F2 Savita SSC 25-4-23 D18

The letter at the far corners in every two step is deleted and a new alphabet is introduced which is placed at the middle left.

F2 Savita SSC 25-4-23 D19

Next step:

There will be a new alphabet will be added which will be placed at middle left.

F2 Savita SSC 25-4-23 D16 Now we consider the given options:
