Select the alphanumeric-cluster that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series, D4U, G9R, J160, ?

The pattern seems to be: 1. The first letter advances by 3 in each step (D -> G -> J). 2. The second element increments by 5 each time (4 -> 9 -> 14). 3. The third letter is a result of the multiplication of the first two elements (D * 4 = 4 * 4 = 16, G * 9 = 7 * 9 = 63). Applying this pattern to the next term: 1. Starting letter: J + 3 = M 2. Second element: 16 + 5 = 21 3. Third element: 21 * 160 = 3360 Therefore, the next term should start with 'M', have '21' in the middle, and end with 'L'. Among the options, only option 1 matches this pattern: M25L So, the correct answer is: M25L
