1. Correct Answer: Option A: 11880
 2. Explanation:
     To solve this problem, we need to identify the pattern or rule used to encode the given words into numbers.
     ● Step 1: Analyze the given examples.  
           ○ For 'ABCD' = 24:
             ○ Assign numerical values to each letter based on their position in the alphabet: A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4.
             ○ Multiply these values: 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 = 24.
     ● Step 2: Verify the pattern with the second example.  
           ○ For 'EFGH' = 1680:
             ○ Assign numerical values: E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8.
             ○ Multiply these values: 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 = 1680.
     ● Step 3: Apply the same pattern to 'IJKL'.  
           ○ Assign numerical values: I=9, J=10, K=11, L=12.
           ○ Multiply these values: 9 × 10 × 11 × 12.
     ● Step 4: Calculate the product.  
           ○ 9 × 10 = 90
           ○ 90 × 11 = 990
           ○ 990 × 12 = 11880
     Therefore, the code for 'IJKL' is 11880.
