  • A7419828
  • B7481298
  • C7491828
  • D7481928

Detailed Solution & Explanation

This is a direct substitution cipher where each letter corresponds to a specific digit based on the given codes:
From **PAINT** coded as **74128**: - P = 7 - A = 4 - I = 1 - N = 2 - T = 8
From **ACCEPT** coded as **455978**: - A = 4 - C = 5 - E = 9 - P = 7 - T = 8
Now we substitute the digits for each letter of the word **PATIENT**: - P →\displaystyle \rightarrow 7 - A →\displaystyle \rightarrow 4 - T →\displaystyle \rightarrow 8 - I →\displaystyle \rightarrow 1 - E →\displaystyle \rightarrow 9 - N →\displaystyle \rightarrow 2 - T →\displaystyle \rightarrow 8
Combining these digits, the code for **PATIENT** is **7481928**. Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
