C Correct answer
Explanation

The series follows two alternating patterns: 3 (+5) = 8 (-2) = 6 (+5) = 11 (-2) = 9 (+5) = 14 (-2) = 12. The next term is 14 - 2 = 12.

AI explanation

The series follows an alternating pattern where one sequence increases by adding 3 (3, 6, 9) and the other increases by adding 3 as well (8, 11, 14). To find the next term after 9, we add 3 to get 12. The result is 12.
