A Correct answer
Explanation

The differences between consecutive terms are: 11, 19, 27, 35. These differences increase by 8 each time. The next difference should be 35 + 8 = 43. 95 + 43 = 138.

AI explanation

The pattern follows n squared plus 8n, where 1 squared plus 8 is 9, 2 squared plus 16 is 33, and 3 squared plus 24 is 33. Alternatively, the differences between terms are 11, 19, 27, and 35, which increase by 8; adding 43 to 95 gives 138.
