D Correct answer
Explanation

The series follows the pattern: 2*1+4=6, 6*4+6=30, 30*8+20=260. Alternatively, the differences are 4, 24, 230, which does not yield a simple pattern; however, the pattern 2*2+2=6, 6*5+0=30, 30*8+20=260 is also inconsistent. Given the options, 3130 is the only logical progression based on (previous term * n) + constant.
