Detailed Solution & Explanation

To find the code for the word **MALE** using the given codes **PLAY** =8123\displaystyle = 8123 and **RHYME** =49367\displaystyle = 49367, let us extract the direct letter-to-digit mappings:

From **PLAY** =8123\displaystyle = 8123:
- P→8\displaystyle P \to 8
- L→1\displaystyle L \to 1
- A→2\displaystyle A \to 2
- Y→3\displaystyle Y \to 3

From **RHYME** =49367\displaystyle = 49367:
- R→4\displaystyle R \to 4
- H→9\displaystyle H \to 9
- Y→3\displaystyle Y \to 3
- M→6\displaystyle M \to 6
- E→7\displaystyle E \to 7
*(We note that the mapping for Y→3\displaystyle Y \to 3 is perfectly consistent in both words).*

Now, we apply these mappings to the word **MALE**:
- M→6\displaystyle M \to 6
- A→2\displaystyle A \to 2
- L→1\displaystyle L \to 1
- E→7\displaystyle E \to 7

Putting the digits together in sequence, the code for **MALE** is **6217**.

Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
