B Correct answer
Explanation

The series follows a pattern: +60, -30, +15, -7.5. Starting from 56: 56+60=116, 116-30=86, 86+15=101, 101-7.5=93.5. But the given term is 92.5 instead of 93.5. The pattern alternates between adding and subtracting half of the previous difference (60, 30, 15, 7.5). The wrong term is 92.5.
