D Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern is: 3 * 2 = 6, 6 * 3 = 18, 18 * 4 = 72. The next term is 72 * 5 = 360.

AI explanation

The pattern multiplies consecutive terms by progressively increasing integers: 2, 3, 4, and 5. Multiplying 3 by 2 gives 6, multiplying 6 by 3 gives 18, and multiplying 18 by 4 gives 72. Multiplying 72 by 5 yields the final result of 360.
