Correct answer: A
To solve this, we identify the pattern used to code PACE as 2561925. First, find the alphabetical position of each letter: P=16, A=1, C=3, E=5. Next, square each position: 16²=256, 1²=1, 3²=9, 5²=25. Concatenating these gives 2561925, which matches the example.
Now apply this to BALL: B=2, A=1, L=12. Square the positions: 2²=4, 1²=1, 12²=144, 12²=144. Concatenating these results gives the code: 41144144.
