D Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern involves differences between adjacent terms equaling consecutive odd cubes: 4-3=1=1³, 27-0=27=3³, 136-11=125=5³. This gives us 136-? = 125, so ? = 11. Option A (43) would make the difference 136-43=93, which is not a perfect cube. Option B (91) gives 136-91=45, also not a cube.
