Logic: 

First and second letter → (5) is added to the position value according to the English alphabetic series.

Second and third letter → (1) is subtracted from the position value according to the English alphabetic series.

Third and fourth letter → (1) is subtracted from the position value according to the English alphabetic series.

​​So,

Option - (1): RWVU

F2 Savira SSC 6-9-24 D137

Option - (2): PUTS

F2 Savira SSC 6-9-24 D138

Option - (3): AFED

F2 Savira SSC 6-9-24 D139

Option - (4): IMNL

F2 Savira SSC 6-9-24 D140

Thus, out of all the options "IMNL" is the odd one out.

Hence, "Option - (4)" is the correct answer.
