Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
In a direct substitution code, each letter keeps the same digit wherever it appears. Repeated letters therefore repeat the same digit, and a new word is encoded by replacing its letters one by one.
Application
From PAINT → 93546, read P→9, A→3, I→5, N→4, T→6.
From EXCEL → 78271, read E→7, X→8, C→2, and L→1; the repeated E confirms the fixed mapping.
Replace A-C-C-E-P-T in order: 3-2-2-7-9-6.
Cross-check
The two C letters produce the repeated digit 2, while the E, P, and T positions reproduce 7, 9, and 6 from the examples.
Result
Hence ACCEPT is coded as 322796.
