B Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern is: 2*3-1=5, 5*3-1=14, 14*3-1=41, 41*3-1=122. Following this, 122*3-1 = 366-1 = 365.

AI explanation

The pattern multiplies each term by 3 and then subtracts 1 to get the next term. For the second term, 2 * 3 - 1 equals 5; for the third term, 5 * 3 - 1 equals 14. Following this rule for the missing term, 122 * 3 - 1 equals 366 - 1, which is 365.
