The verified answer to “In a certain code, KING is written as HOJL. How will GAME be written in that code?” is FNBH, option C. The source working states: Correct answer: FNBH (Option D). Apply the same unchanged rule to GAME: G→F, A→N, M→B, E→H. Therefore the required code is FNBH. Wrong options: HBNF is wrong because it does not reproduce the verified rule at every position; ICOG is wrong because it does not reproduce the verified rule at every position; FZLD is wrong because it does not reproduce the verified rule at every position. Even one mismatched position invalidates a code, so only Option D is correct. This observation must be confirmed across every available letter position or every consecutive term before it is applied to the missing code. Applying the verified rule to the target expression produces FNBH. The alternatives ICOG, FZLD and HBNF fail because at least one position does not obey the same transformation. A useful final check is to map FNBH backward through the inverse operation and confirm that the original target is recovered.
