Answer: PLAN

Here each letter is written as the number of that letter in the alphabet and the number if further written as the product of 2 numbers. The first of the 2 factors is replaced by the numbered letter in the alphabet and the second factor is left as a number.
E.g J is the 10th letter
10 = 2*5 => B5
Therefore, D4C4A1B7 should be replaced by the 16th (4*4), 12th, 1st and 14t letters of the alphabets.
