Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.$23,24,32,59,?,248$

Let's analyze the differences between consecutive terms in the series:$24-23=1$$32-24=8$$59-32=27$ Notice that the differences are perfect cubes:$1=1^3$$8=2^3$$27=3^3$ Following this pattern, the next difference must be $4^3=64$.
$$\text{Missing Number}=59+64=123$$
Let's verify with the last term using the next cube ($5^3=125$):
$$123+125=248$$
This perfectly matches the final term. Thus, the missing number is 123.
