Answer

Given, DANGER is coded as 11-8-21-14-12-25.

To find the code for MACHINE, we need to identify the coding pattern used.

Observing the given codes, we can see that each letter is represented by a two-digit number, with the first digit ranging from 1 to 26 (indicating the alphabetical position of the letter) and the second digit ranging from 1 to 26 as well (indicating a shift in the alphabet).

Using this pattern, we can code MACHINE as follows:

M: The 13th letter in the alphabet, so the first digit is 13. The 1st letter after M is N, so the second digit is 1. Thus, the code for M is 13-1.

A: The 1st letter in the alphabet, so the first digit is 1. The 12th letter before A is O, so the second digit is 12. Thus, the code for A is 1-12.

C: The 3rd letter in the alphabet, so the first digit is 3. The 9th letter before C is T, so the second digit is 9. Thus, the code for C is 3-9.

H: The 8th letter in the alphabet, so the first digit is 8. The 7th letter after H is O, so the second digit is 7. Thus, the code for H is 8-7.

I: The 9th letter in the alphabet, so the first digit is 9. The 4th letter after I is M, so the second digit is 4. Thus, the code for I is 9-4.

N: The 14th letter in the alphabet, so the first digit is 14. The 11th letter after N is Y, so the second digit is 11. Thus, the code for N is 14-11.

E: The 5th letter in the alphabet, so the first digit is 5. The 14th letter before E is A, so the second digit is 14. Thus, the code for E is 5-14.

Thus, the code for MACHINE is 13-1 1-12 3-9 8-7 9-4 14-11 5-14, which is option B.
