C Correct answer
Explanation

The series is 10, 9, 7, ?, 0. Differences: 10-9=1, 9-7=2. The next difference should be 3. 7-3=4. The next difference should be 4. 4-4=0. The pattern holds.

AI explanation

The series follows a pattern of subtracting consecutive integers from the previous term. The subtractions are 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively, giving the differences as 10 - 1 = 9, 9 - 2 = 7, and 7 - 3 = 4. Following this, 4 - 4 equals 0, which matches the last term. The result is 4.
