Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark(?) in the following series.14, 26, 41, 61, 88, ?

Let's find the difference between consecutive terms in the series:$26-14=12$$41-26=15$$61-41=20$$88-61=27$ Now, let's look at the differences: $12,15,20,27$.Let's find the second-level differences:$15-12=3$$20-15=5$$27-20=7$ The differences increase by consecutive odd numbers ($3,5,7$). The next difference will increase by $9$:
$$\text{Next difference}=27+9=36$$
Therefore, the missing number is:
$$88+36=124$$
