Explanation:

- To decipher the code, observe the patterns in the given examples.

- For ‘375’ written as ‘42’: Calculate $3\times 7\times 5=105$, and the sum of digits of 105 is 6. But this pattern doesn't help us get 42. Let's consider another method.

- Look at each example's digits: The sum of digits can be arranged: $(3+7+5)+(3\times 7)$ gives $42$.

- For ‘784’ written as ‘14’: The sum, $(7+8+4)=19$, and product $7\times 8=56$. No help there.

- Given the discrepancy, an apparent pattern in sums and products arises only by trying it on each option.

- For ‘465’: Sum of digits $4+6+5=15$. Apply pattern: Add direct digits or attempt other likely arrangements as only logical reduction provokes $43$.

- So, if you calculate for 465 in this format, the optimal result considering both is 43.

- Option: 2 - 43 is the correct answer.
