D Correct answer
Explanation

The differences between terms are: 56-44=12, 76-56=20, 104-76=28. The differences increase by 8 each time. The next difference should be 28 + 8 = 36. Thus, 104 + 36 = 140.

AI explanation

The differences between consecutive terms are calculated by subtracting the previous term from the next. The differences are 56 minus 44 which is 12, 76 minus 56 which is 20, and 104 minus 76 which is 28, showing that the differences increase by 8 each time. The next difference must be 28 plus 8 which is 36, making the missing number 104 plus 36 which equals 140.
