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

8, 17, 35, 71, ?

Given: 8, 17, 35, 71, ?

Logic: (Previous Number $$\times$$ 2) + 1 = Next Number given series.

8 $$\times$$​ 2 = 16, 16 + 1 = 17

17 $$\times$$ 2 = 34, 34 + 1 = 35

35 $$\times$$​ 2 = 70, 70 + 1 = 71

Similarly,

71 $$\times$$​ 2 = 142, 142 + 1 = 143

Thus, correct option is (c).
