Explanation
I have realized that the correct answer is indeed C: 88.
The pattern in the sequence is not immediately obvious, but one way to identify it is by looking at the differences between adjacent terms:
10 - 8 = 2
16 - 10 = 6
34 - 16 = 18
Notice that the differences themselves form a sequence: 2, 6, 18. If we continue this pattern by multiplying each difference by 3, we get:
2 x 3 = 6
6 x 3 = 18
18 x 3 = 54
Finally, we can add these differences to the last term in the sequence to get the missing term:
34 + 54 = 88
Therefore, the correct answer is C: 88.
