Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Observe that each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by consecutive integers and then adding 1.

1 * 2 + 1 = 3
3 * 3 + 1 = 10
10 * 4 + 1 = 41
41 * 5 + 1 = 206
206 * 6 + 1 = 1237

Therefore, the missing number is 206. Hence, Option C is correct.
