B Correct answer
Explanation

The pattern is: multiply each term by its position number and add the previous term. Starting from 0: 0×1=0, 0×2=0, 1×3=3 (so 0+3=3, but we have 4 - let me recalculate). Actually, the pattern is: 0×1+1=1, 1×2+2=4, 4×3+6=18, 18×4+24=96, 96×5+120=600. Each step adds n! (factorial of position). Alternatively: 0=0, 1=1×1, 4=2×2, 18=3×6, 96=4×24, 600=5×120 where the multipliers are factorials.
