A Correct answer
Explanation

The series follows a pattern of dividing by 4: 24576 / 4 = 6144; 6144 / 4 = 1536; 1536 / 4 = 384. The term 386 is incorrect; it should be 384.

AI explanation

The pattern of the series divides each term by 4 to get the next term, as seen when 24576 divided by 4 is 6144, 6144 divided by 4 is 1536, and 96 divided by 4 is 24. However, 1536 divided by 4 is 384, not 386. Therefore, the wrong term in the series is 386.
