C Correct answer
Explanation

The series follows a pattern of alternating operations: divide by 2, then add 2. Starting from 100: 100/2 = 50, 50+2 = 52, 52/2 = 26, 26+2 = 28, and finally 28/2 = 14.

AI explanation

The series alternates between dividing by 2 and adding 2. The second term is 100 / 2 = 50, and the third term is 50 + 2 = 52. Following this pattern from the fifth term 28, the next term is 28 / 2, which equals 14.
