    B.

    68

    C.

    82

    D.

    91

    Correct option is A

    Given3, 9, 21, 45, ?
    Logic: (Previous number ×\times 2) + 3 = Next number in given series.
    3 × 2 = 6, 6 + 3 = 9
    9 × 2 = 18, 18 + 3 = 21
    21 × 2 = 42, 42 + 3 = 45
    Similarly, 
    45 × 2 = 90, 90 + 3 = 93
    Thus, correct option is (a).
