A Correct answer
Explanation

The sequence follows the pattern n² - 1 for consecutive integers starting from 3: 3²-1=8, 4²-1=15, 5²-1=24, 6²-1=35, 7²-1=50, 8²-1=63, 9²-1=80. The number 50 (7²-1) correctly follows the pattern. However, the question asks for the 'odd' (incorrect) number in the sequence, and 50 actually fits correctly. Looking at the options given, 50 is listed as A and marked correct, but the question is framed oddly.
