A Correct answer
Explanation

Pattern: *2, *3, *4, *5, *6. 4*2=8, 8*3=24, 24*4=96, 96*5=480. 460 is incorrect; it should be 480.

AI explanation

The series follows a pattern of multiplying by consecutive integers: 4 multiplied by 2 is 8, 8 multiplied by 3 is 24, and 24 multiplied by 4 is 96. Following this pattern, 96 multiplied by 5 should equal 480, but the given number is 460. Therefore, 460 is the wrong term in the series.
