You can add the following code anywhere that you want.

/**

*
* @var \Magento\Eav\Model\ResourceModel\Entity\Attribute\Collection
*/
protected $_entityAttributeCollection;
 
/**
* @var \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute

/**
* @param \Magento\Backend\Block\Template\Context $context
* @param \Magento\Eav\Model\ResourceModel\Entity\Attribute\Collection $eavEntityAttributeCollection
* @param array $data
*/

    $this->_entityAttributeCollection = $entityAttributeCollection; 
    $this->_entityAttribute = $entityAttribute;

    parent::__construct($context, $data);
}

}
 
/**

* Entity types 'catalog_product' & 'catalog_category' both have 'name' attribute code

public function getAttributesByCode($code) {
    $this->_entityAttributeCollection->getSelect()->join(
                ['eav_entity_type'=>$this->_entityAttributeCollection->getTable('eav_entity_type')],
                'main_table.entity_type_id = eav_entity_type.entity_type_id',
                ['entity_type_code'=>'eav_entity_type.entity_type_code']);                
    
    $attributes = $this->_entityAttributeCollection->setCodeFilter($code);
    
    return $attributes;
}
 
/**
* Get single product attribute data 
*
* @return Magento\Eav\Model\ResourceModel\Entity\Attribute\Collection
*/
public function getProductAttributeByCode($code) {
    $this->_entityAttributeCollection->getSelect()->join(
                ['eav_entity_type'=>$this->_entityAttributeCollection->getTable('eav_entity_type')],
                'main_table.entity_type_id = eav_entity_type.entity_type_id',
                ['entity_type_code'=>'eav_entity_type.entity_type_code']);                
    
    $attribute = $this->_entityAttributeCollection
                      ->setCodeFilter($code)
                      ->addFieldToFilter('entity_type_code', 'catalog_product')
                      ->getFirstItem();
    
    return $attribute;
}

For example, here, we will fetch the attribute data for the attribute “manufacturer” of “product”.

$attributeCode = ‘manufacturer’;
$entityType = 'catalog_product';
 
$attributeInfo = $block->getAttributeInfo($entityType, $attributeCode);
//var_dump($attributeInfo->getData());
 
$attributeId = $attributeInfo->getAttributeId();
$optionId = 49; // YOUR_OPTION_ID
 
$attributeOptionAll = $block->getAttributeOptionAll($attributeId);
//var_dump($attributeOptionAll->getData());
 
$attributeOptionSingle = $block->getAttributeOptionSingle($attributeId, $optionId);
//var_dump($attributeOptionSingle->getData());
