Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B

In word-code correspondence puzzles, each clue sentence maps its words to a matching set of codes. When exactly one word is common between two clue sentences, the code common to their two coded strings must stand for that shared word — repeating this comparison across the clues isolates the code for each word needed, and the code for any target phrase is the union of the codes for its individual words.
Comparing “Money gives happiness” (min huw tim) with “Health bring happiness” (huw ime hokt): the only word common to both sentences is “happiness”, and the only code common to both strings is huw, so happiness = huw.
Comparing “Health bring happiness” (huw ime hokt) with “Health is important” (jim hokt ktgh): the only common word is “Health”, and the only common code is hokt, so Health = hokt.
Comparing “Health is important” (jim hokt ktgh) with “People is happy” (klfh plih jim): the only common word is “is”, and the only common code is jim, so is = jim.
The target phrase “Health is Happiness” therefore needs exactly the codes for Health, is, and Happiness — hokt, jim, and huw — combined together.
Cross-check: this three-code set — jim, hokt, huw — accounts for all three target words with nothing left over and no code borrowed from an unrelated clue word (such as bring, important, happy, or People), confirming jim hokt huw as the code for “Health is Happiness”.
Hence, the code for “Health is Happiness” is jim hokt huw.
