C Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern follows the rule: next term = (previous term * 1.5) + 25, or more simply, the differences are 25, 50, 75, 100. Adding 100 to 226 gives 326.

AI explanation

The series follows an addition pattern based on the squares of consecutive odd numbers. We add 25, which is 5 squared, to 76 to get 101, add 50, which is 2 times 5 squared, to 101 to get 151, and add 75, which is 3 times 5 squared, to 151 to get 226. To find the next term, we add 100, which is 4 times 5 squared, to 226 to get the result 326.
