E Correct answer
Explanation

The sequence follows the pattern 2^n (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64). The next term should be 128, not 96.

AI explanation

The sequence follows the pattern of continuously multiplying the previous term by 2. When you multiply 1 by 2 repeatedly, you get 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128. The number 96 does not fit this pattern and is therefore the wrong term.
