Explanation:

Let’s figure out the pattern:

- In 'CREATION' ? 'RCAEITNO',

The rearrangement is:

1st letter ? 2nd place (C?R),

2nd ? 1st (R?C),

3rd ? 4th (E?A),

4th ? 3rd (A?E),

5th ? 6th (T?I),

6th ? 5th (I?T),

7th ? 8th (O?N),

8th ? 7th (N?O)

(so pairs are swapped: 1st & 2nd, 3rd & 4th, etc.)

- Applying same logic to 8-letter 'SEQUENCE':

S E Q U E N C E

Swap 1?2, 3?4, 5?6, 7?8:

E S U Q N E E C

- Review each option:

1. ESUQENEC – matches the pattern!

2. QESEUENC – this doesn't swap correctly.

3. QESEUCNE – swaps incorrectly.

4. ESUQNEEC – "NEE" appears at positions 5–7; doesn’t fit the swap pattern.

The correct answer is Option 1: ESUQENEC.

Summary: The code swaps every two adjacent letters. Only option 1 follows this pattern.
