- Let's try to crack the code:

- Check the letters in "FRIEND" (F=6, R=18, I=9, E=5, N=14, D=4).

- Adding them: 6+18+9+5+14+4 = 56.

- But code is 86, not 56.

- Let's try multiplying by the number of letters: 56×6 = 336. Too high.

- For "SICK": S=19, I=9, C=3, K=11. So, 19+9+3+11 = 42, but code is 62.

- Let's try adding the sum of the letters to the number of letters × 5.

- Number of letters in FRIEND = 6. 56 + (6×5)=56+30=86 .

- For SICK: 19+9+3+11=42. Letters=4. 42+(4×5)=42+20=62 .

- For FRECKLE: F=6, R=18, E=5, C=3, K=11, L=12, E=5.

- Sum: 6+18+5+3+11+12+5=60. Number of letters = 7.

- 60 + (7×5) = 60 + 35 = 95 .

Correct option: 4 - 95
