B Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern is multiply by 3, then alternately subtract 4: 10×3-4=26, 26×3-4=74, 74×3-4=218, 218×3-4=650 (should be 650, not 654), 650×3-4=1946. The odd one is 654 because it should be 650 based on the pattern. All other numbers follow the rule of (previous × 3) - 4 perfectly.
