    (39, 26, 13)
  2. B
    (36, 25, 16)
  3. C
    (64, 27, 8)
  4. D
    (36, 16, 4)

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's look at the properties of the given set: .
All the numbers in the set are perfect squares of consecutive decreasing odd numbers:

*
*
*
The bases are consecutive odd numbers: .

Now let's examine the options:

* Option A: – None of these numbers are perfect squares.
* Option B: – Squares of consecutive integers, both even and odd.
* Option C: – Mixture of squares and cubes.
* Option D: – All numbers are perfect squares of consecutive decreasing even numbers.

Option D matches the logic of being a sequence of squares of consecutive integers with a common difference of in their bases (). Therefore, Option D is the most structurally similar set.
