Correct answer: D
Answer: 123
Explanation: Assign each letter its position in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, …, Z=26) and add the values.
Verification given: PALAM = 16 + 1 + 12 + 1 + 13 = 43.
Compute SANTACRUZ by letter values: S=19, A=1, N=14, T=20, A=1, C=3, R=18, U=21, Z=26.
Sum: 19 + 1 + 14 + 20 + 1 + 3 + 18 + 21 + 26 = 123.
Therefore, the code number for SANTACRUZ is 123.
