D Correct answer
Explanation

Pattern: 19 × 2 - 3 = 35; 35 × 4 - 6 = 134; 134 × 6 - 9 = 792; 792 × 8 - 12 = 6328. The pattern should continue with multipliers 2, 4, 6, 8 and subtractors 3, 6, 9, 12. The last term should be 6328, not 1532. Option D (1532) is the wrong number. Note: 1532 appears to be 792 × 2 - 52, which breaks the established pattern.
