B Correct answer
Explanation

The series pattern is: subtract consecutive odd numbers starting from 95. 948-95=853, 853-77=776, 776-56=720, 720-43=677≠682, 677-31=646≠663. The pattern breaks at 682 - it should be 677. However, checking differences: 95, 77, 56, 44, 19. The subtractions themselves don't follow a clear pattern. Option B (776) is marked wrong.
