C Correct answer
Explanation

The differences between terms are: 185-175=10, 205-185=20, 235-205=30, 275-235=40. The next difference should be 50. 275 + 50 = 325.

AI explanation

The differences between the terms form a simple arithmetic progression. The differences are 10 (185 - 175), 20 (205 - 185), 30 (235 - 205), and 40 (275 - 235). Adding the next multiple of 10, which is 50, to 275 gives the missing term as 325.
