Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.$157,165,192,256,?$

Let's look at the differences between the consecutive numbers:$165-157=8$$192-165=27$$256-192=64$ Notice that the differences are perfect cubes:$8=2^3$$27=3^3$$64=4^3$ Following this pattern, the next difference must be $5^3=125$.Therefore, the missing number is:
$$256+125=381$$
