D Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern is division by 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2. 46080/12 = 3840, 3840/10 = 384, 384/8 = 48, 48/6 = 8. The term 24 is wrong; it should be 8.

AI explanation

The pattern is to divide the previous term by decreasing consecutive integers starting from 12. So, 46080 divided by 12 is 3840, 3840 divided by 11 is 384, 384 divided by 10 is 48, and 48 divided by 9 should be 5.33 (but the series lists 24), making 24 the incorrect term; continuing the correct division, 48 divided by 9 does not equal 24. The term 24 breaks the established division pattern and is the odd term out.
