B Correct answer
Explanation

Pattern: 9 × 2 = 18, 18 × 6 = 108. The multiplier increases by 4: 2, 6, 10, 14, 18. 108 × 10 = 1080 (not 1008). So the first bracket (1008) is incorrect. 1080 × 14 = 15120, not 10008. The pattern for the second bracket is unclear. The answer states the first bracket is incorrect and the second is correct, but 10008 doesn't fit 1080×14=15120. The series may have a different pattern.
