B Correct answer
Explanation

The differences between consecutive terms are 12, 32, and 52. These differences increase by 20 each time, so the next difference should be 52 + 20 = 72. Adding 72 to 208 gives 280.

AI explanation

The differences between the successive terms of the series are 12, 32, and 52. The differences themselves form a pattern where each difference increases by 20, making the next difference 72. Adding 72 to the last term of the sequence, 208, gives the result 280.
