D Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern is alternating between adding 4 and subtracting 3. Starting from 4, the sequence should be: 4 (+4) = 8, 8 (-3) = 5, 5 (+4) = 9, 9 (-3) = 6, 6 (+4) = 10, 10 (-3) = 7, 7 (+4) = 11, 11 (-3) = 8. The actual sequence has 7 and 12 instead of 6 and 10, with 14 being wrong at the end.
