Correct Option: 2

To find the code for 'ENTANGLE', we first analyze the coding pattern from 'MERCURY' to 'NGUGZXF'.

The letters are shifted as follows:

\newline

M (13) → N (14) = +1

\newline

E (5) → G (7) = +2

\newline

R (18) → U (21) = +3

\newline

C (3) → G (7) = +4

\newline

U (21) → Z (26) = +5

\newline

R (18) → X (24) = +6

\newline

Y (25) → F (6) = +7

Now, we apply the same shifting pattern to 'ENTANGLE':

E (5) → F (6) = +1

\newline

N (14) → P (16) = +2

\newline

T (20) → W (23) = +3

\newline

A (1) → E (5) = +4

\newline

N (14) → R (18) = +5

\newline

G (7) → M (13) = +6

\newline

L (12) → S (19) = +7

\newline

E (5) → M (13) = +8

Thus, option 2 is the answer (see the last 3 letters: MSM, and find that among the options!)
