- Let's break down the coding pattern for 'POND' and 'HELO'.

- The word 'POND' has letter values P=16, O=15, N=14, D=4. Their sum is 16 + 15 + 14 + 4 = 49, but the code given is 48, suggesting a different rule.

- Similarly, 'HELO' has letter values H=8, E=5, L=12, O=15. Their sum is 8 + 5 + 12 + 15 = 40, and the code is 39.

- It seems that their sum is decreased by 1. This hints that the code is one less than the letters' sum.

- Now, for 'PINK': P=16, I=9, N=14, K=11. Sum these: 16 + 9 + 14 + 11 = 50.

- Applying the pattern, 50 - 1 = 49.

- Correct Option: 1
