D Correct answer
Explanation

Pattern: 3*2+4=10, 10*3+6=36, 36*4+8=152, 152*5+10=770. The term 768 should be 770.

AI explanation

The pattern multiplies the previous term by an increasing integer and adds the next consecutive integer: 3 times 2 plus 4 is 10, 10 times 3 plus 6 is 36, and 36 times 4 plus 8 is 152. Following this, 152 times 5 plus 10 should be 770, making 768 the wrong term.
