B Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern is n + (n/2 + 50) where n is the current number. Starting from 1608: 1608 + (804+50) = 2462, not 1717. The expected series should be 1608, 2462, 3693, 5539.5, 8309.25... 2184 is indeed wrong as it doesn't fit any reasonable continuation from 1608. The given options don't contain the correct next term, making 2184 the identifiable error.
