Correct answer: A
Concept
In this coding pattern, convert each letter to its alphabetical position and then add 1.
Preserve the letter order and concatenate the resulting numbers to form the code.
Application
The examples reveal H → 9 and E → 6, which are one more than 8 and 5; L → 13 and O → 16 confirm the same rule.
Apply the rule to MOBILE: M → 14, O → 16, B → 3, I → 10, L → 13, E → 6.
Concatenating in order gives 14 | 16 | 3 | 10 | 13 | 6 = 1416310136.
Cross-check
Applying the rule back to HEIGHT gives 9 | 6 | 10 | 8 | 9 | 21, and applying it to LOOSE gives 13 | 16 | 16 | 20 | 6, exactly matching both supplied codes. Hence the code for MOBILE is 1416310136.
