Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
B, E, A, D are the 2nd, 5th, 1st and 4th letters of the alphabet, so each letter is replaced by its position.
F = 6, A = 1, C = 3, E = 5.
The code is 6135.
Worth noting
5316 writes the positions in reverse order, and 7246 adds 1 to each. BEAD keeps the letters in their own order.
