C Correct answer
Explanation

The series follows a pattern: +5, -3, +5, -3, +5, -3. 5+5=10, 10-3=7, 7+5=12, 12-3=9, 9+5=14, 14-3=11.

AI explanation

This question uses alternating series logic, separating the sequence into two interwoven patterns. The first pattern is 5, 7, 9, and the second pattern is 10, 12, 14. The missing term continues the first pattern, so adding 2 to the number 9 results in 11. The next term is 11.
