   Option C
   Explanation:
   There is 2 ‘-’ sign in 1st code and 1 ‘-’ sign in last code
   But in 1st code, ‘-’ is at front, and in fourth code, ‘-’ at last
   and we see 2 words starting with e in first code (evident and earning) and one word ending with e in last code (grace). Also 1 word (three) in 1st code ending with e
   So we get that symbols are used for 1st and last letters in words. If letter at start then symbol at front, and for letter at last, symbol at last.
   Symbols:
   t to %, S to *, R to ? M to #, G to @, D to ©, O to +, E to -, U to =, A to /
   Number for second last letter in word
   So for Evident
   E to – , number for n (14), and last letter ‘t’ to % – so evident is -14%
   admit – a to / , 9 for I, t to %, so admit – /09%

   Option B
   
   The alphabet is written for first letter of each word in reverse order – A to Z, B to Y, C to X……….and Z to A
   For symbols, last letter is used:
   T = %, E = @, L = #, R = $
   The number is number of letters between first and last letters of words.
   Eg: made –
   M => N, 2 letters between M and e. @ for e
   So made = N2@
   for support –
   S => H, 5 letters between s and t. % for t
   So support = H5%, etc.
