A Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern is: multiply by 1.25, then add half of the previous increment (which itself halves each time). Starting increment at step 1-2 is 0.5, so: 2×1.25+0.5=2.75≠2.5; 2.5×1.25+0.25=3.375≠3.25; 3.25×1.25+0.125=4.1875≠4.125; 4.125×1.25+0.0625=5.21875≈5.0625. This is the closest match to option A.
