The sequence lists consecutive odd numbers starting from 1, with each term 2 greater than the previous one. We have 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, all odd and evenly spaced. Adding 2 to 9 gives 11. Hence, 11 is the correct next term that keeps the list of odd numbers in order.
Option A:
Option A is 10, which is even and would break the pattern of odd integers. It also changes the difference from 2 to 1, so it does not match the structure.
Option B:
Option B equals 11, maintaining both the odd property and the consistent step of 2. Extending the series to 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 keeps the progression uninterrupted. This makes 11 the appropriate continuation.
Option C:
Option C is 13, which is an odd number but lies 4 units above 9. Choosing 13 would skip 11 and alter the fixed difference of 2. Therefore, it cannot be the immediate next term.
Option D:
Option D is 15, which is further away and would correspond to a difference of 6 from 9. This would distort the regularity of the sequence. So, 15 is not correct in this context.
