Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
12496, 12448, 12424, (?)

Given: 12496, 12448, 12424, (?)

Logic: Difference of two consecutive numbers is decreasing by 48, 24, 12,....

12496 - 12448 = 48, 

12448 - 12424 = 24, 

12424 - ? = 12 

? = 12412

So, 12412 is the missing term in the series.

Thus, the correct answer is (d).
