B Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern is alternating: +1, +5, +1, +5, +1. The next step is +5. 25 + 5 = 30.

AI explanation

Analyze the pattern by looking at the differences between consecutive numbers. The sequence increases by 1, then by 5, repeating this pattern continuously. The last two given numbers are 24 and 25, meaning the next difference must be 5. Adding 5 to 25 gives the next term, which is 30.
