A Correct answer
Explanation

The series follows a pattern of division: 1080/5 = 216, 216/4 = 54, 54/3 = 18, 18/2 = 9. The next step is 9/1 = 9.

AI explanation

The given series follows the pattern of dividing by decreasing consecutive integers starting from 5: 1080 / 5 = 216, 216 / 4 = 54, 54 / 3 = 18, and 18 / 2 = 9. To find the final missing term, apply the same method by dividing by the next consecutive integer, which is 1: 9 / 1 = 9. The result is 9.
