CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

H = 8, A = 1, N = 14, D = 4. The code numbers are one more: 9, 2, 15, 5.
So each letter is written as its position plus 1.
FOOT: $6 + 1$ , $15 + 1$ , $15 + 1$ , $20 + 1$ , giving 7-16-16-21.

Worth noting

6-15-15-20 is the plain positions; the example shows every number is one more than the position.

Concept: Letter position with a constant added
