C Correct answer
Explanation

The series follows a pattern of subtracting 2 from each term. Starting from 14, the next terms are 14 - 2 = 12, 12 - 2 = 10, and 10 - 2 = 8.

AI explanation

The given sequence decreases by a constant value of 2 at each step, forming a simple arithmetic progression. To find the next terms, subtract 2 from 14 to get 12, subtract 2 from 12 to get 10, and subtract 2 from 10 to get 8. Therefore, the next three terms are 12, 10, and 8.
