A Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern is division by a decreasing sequence: 336/1.5 = 224, 224/1.33 = 168 (or more simply, the differences are 112, 56, 28, 14, 7). The differences are halved each time. 126 - 7 = 119.

AI explanation

The differences between the consecutive terms are 112, 56, 28 and 14, forming a pattern where each difference is halved. The next difference should be half of 14, which is 7. Subtracting 7 from 126 gives 119.
