E Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern is: divide by 4, then add 300 to get the next term. Starting from 9000, we get 9000/4 + 300 = 2550, not 2100. However, the series continues with 2100/4 + 300 = 825, not 600. The series appears to follow: term/4 + 300, but 9000 doesn't fit the reverse pattern from 600 (which would require 600 x 4 - 300 = 2100).
