D Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern is division: 720/6=120, 120/5=24, 24/4=6, 6/3=2, 2/2=1, 1/1=1. The term 8 should be 6.

AI explanation

The series is derived by dividing the previous term by consecutive integers starting from 6. The pattern is 720 divided by 6 is 120, 120 divided by 5 is 24, and 24 divided by 4 is 6. Since the term given is 8 instead of 6, the wrong term is 8.
