A Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern is: 8 * 0.5 = 4; 4 * 1.5 = 6; 6 * 2.5 = 15; 15 * 3.5 = 52.5. The next step is 52.5 * 4.5 = 236.25.

AI explanation

Each term is multiplied by an incrementing 0.5 to get the next term: 8 times 0.5 is 4, 4 times 1.5 is 6, 6 times 2.5 is 15, and 15 times 3.5 is 52.5. Multiplying 52.5 by 4.5 gives the next term, which is 236.25.
