The question from the image is: "In a code language, COULD is written as BNTKC and MARGIN is written as LZQFHM. Then how will 'MOLDING' be written in that code?"

Identify the coding pattern from the given examples.
For "COULD" $\to$ "BNTKC":
- C is replaced by B (C - 1 letter)
- O is replaced by N (O - 1 letter)
- U is replaced by T (U - 1 letter)
- L is replaced by K (L - 1 letter)
- D is replaced by C (D - 1 letter) The pattern is that each letter is replaced by the letter immediately preceding it in the English alphabet.
Verify the pattern with the second example.
For "MARGIN" $\to$ "LZQFHM":
- M is replaced by L (M - 1 letter)
- A is replaced by Z (A - 1 letter, wrapping around from A to Z)
- R is replaced by Q (R - 1 letter)
- G is replaced by F (G - 1 letter)
- I is replaced by H (I - 1 letter)
- N is replaced by M (N - 1 letter) The pattern is consistent.
Apply the identified pattern to the word "MOLDING".
- M $\to$ L
- O $\to$ N
- L $\to$ K
- D $\to$ C
- I $\to$ H
- N $\to$ M
- G $\to$ F
Combine the coded letters to form the final word.
The coded word for "MOLDING" is LNKCHMF.

The final answer is $\text{LNKCHMF}$
