According to the EMCAScript 5.1 specification, javascript identifiers cannot start with a number. So the “1” property is not a valid identifier in your JSON. However, you could reference it as LGIntake.corpCodeOptions.marketSegment[1].

See http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/javascript-identifiers#valid-identifier-names for details.
