C Correct answer
Explanation

The differences between consecutive terms are 3, 6, 9, 12. This is an arithmetic progression of differences, so the next difference should be 15. Adding 15 to 37 gives 52.

AI explanation

The series follows a pattern where the differences between consecutive terms are multiples of three. The difference between 7 and 10 is 3, between 10 and 16 is 6, between 16 and 25 is 9, and between 25 and 37 is 12. The next difference should be 15, and adding 15 to 37 gives the next term, which is 52. The result is 52.
