To answer this question, you need to identify the pattern or sequence in the given numbers.
If we observe the given numbers: 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, we can see that they are all prime numbers.
Prime numbers are numbers that are only divisible by 1 and themselves.
Starting with the number 11, we can see that the next prime number after 11 is 13.
Continuing the pattern, the next prime number after 13 is 17, then 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, and finally 41.
Therefore, the missing number in the sequence is the next prime number after 41, which is 43.
Option A) 43 - This option is correct because it is the next prime number in the sequence.
Option B) 47 - This option is incorrect because it is not the next prime number in the sequence.
Option C) 53 - This option is incorrect because it is not the next prime number in the sequence.
Option D) 51 - This option is incorrect because it is not a prime number.
The correct answer is A) 43.
