B Correct answer
Explanation

Each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 4: 3 x 4 = 12, 12 x 4 = 48, and 48 x 4 = 192. Therefore, the missing term is 192 x 4 = 768.

AI explanation

The ratio between consecutive terms is constant: 12 / 3 = 4, 48 / 12 = 4, and 192 / 48 = 4. This means each term is found by multiplying the previous term by 4. Multiplying 192 by 4 yields 768.
