A Correct answer
Explanation

The series is a decreasing arithmetic progression with a common difference of -17. 102 - 17 = 85, 85 - 17 = 68, 68 - 17 = 51, 51 - 17 = 34.

AI explanation

The series follows a simple pattern of subtracting 17 from the previous term. We can see this because 102 minus 17 is 85, 85 minus 17 is 68, and 68 minus 17 is 51. Continuing this pattern, the next term is 51 minus 17, which equals 34.
