Absolutely, let’s break this down clearly:

- First, change each consonant to the previous letter:

- YXZ ? Y (consonant) ? X, X (consonant) ? W, Z (consonant) ? Y = XWY

- BAC ? B (consonant) ? A, A (vowel) stays A, C (consonant) ? B = AAB

- JFG ? J ? I, F ? E, G ? F = IEF

- ROP ? R ? Q, O (vowel) stays O, P ? O = QOO

- GON ? G ? F, O (vowel), N ? M = FOM

- Now, count vowels in each new word:

- XWY: Only one vowel (Y is not a vowel), not more than one.

- AAB: Two vowels (both A), meets the “more than one vowel” rule.

- IEF: Two vowels (I, E), that works.

- QOO: Two vowels (both O), works as well.

- FOM: Just one vowel (O), doesn’t qualify.

- So, tally:

AAB, IEF, QOO — that’s three words with more than one vowel.

- Here’s the answer:

- Option 1: One — no, that’s too few.

- Option 2: Two — not quite.

- Option 3: Three — yep, that’s right.

- Option 4: Four — too many.

- Option 5: Five — way too many.
