Correct answer: C
Concept
In word-coding questions, test one rule against every supplied example before applying it to the target word.
A valid rule must reproduce all given word-value pairs consistently.
Application
Count the letters: RAT has 3 letters and gives 9; GAME has 4 letters and gives 12; LIVER has 5 letters and gives 15. Each value is three times the number of letters.
POLYSTER has 8 letters: P, O, L, Y, S, T, E, R.
Apply the rule: 3 × 8 = 24.
Cross-check
Reverse-checking gives 24 ÷ 3 = 8, which matches the eight letters in POLYSTER.
Therefore, the code for POLYSTER is 24.
