D Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern alternates between dividing by 2 and subtracting 2. Starting from 124: 124/2 = 62, 62-2 = 60, 60/2 = 30, 30-2 = 28, and finally 28/2 = 14.

AI explanation

The series follows an alternating pattern of dividing by two and subtracting two. Dividing 124 by two gives 62, subtracting two from 62 gives 60, and subtracting two from 30 gives 28. Continuing this pattern, dividing 28 by two results in 14.
