A Correct answer
Explanation

The series pattern is: each term = (previous term × 3) + 8. Checking: 7×3+8=29, 29×3+8=95, but the series has 96. Then 95×3+8=293 (fits if we use 95), 293×3+8=887, 887×3+8=2669. So 96 breaks the pattern - it should be 95. Option A is correctly identified as the wrong number.
