Correct answer: A
In alphabet-position coding, each letter is replaced by its position in the alphabet (A = 1, B = 2, ... Z = 26), and a word's code is the sum of the positions of all its letters. To match a word to its code, compute this letter-sum for each word and pair it with the List-II value that equals it.
BROWN: B(2) + R(18) + O(15) + W(23) + N(14) = 72, which equals code II.
TRING: T(20) + R(18) + I(9) + N(14) + G(7) = 68, which equals code IV.
APPLE: A(1) + P(16) + P(16) + L(12) + E(5) = 50, which equals code I.
WATER: W(23) + A(1) + T(20) + E(5) + R(18) = 67, which equals code III.
The four sums, 72, 68, 50, and 67, are all distinct and each matches exactly one List-II value, so the pairing BROWN-II, TRING-IV, APPLE-I, WATER-III is confirmed independently for every word.
