C Correct answer
Explanation

Let's analyze the pattern: 200 to 231 is +31, 231 to 264 is +33, 264 to 299 is +35, 299 to 336 is +37. The pattern is adding consecutive odd numbers starting from 31: 31, 33, 35, 37, 39... So after 336, we should add 39 to get 375, not 357. The wrong number is 357 (option C).
