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

5, 7, 10, 14, ?

Given: 5, 7, 10, 14, ?

Logic: The pattern follows adding consecutive numbers (+2, +3, +4, +5) in each step.

5 + 2 = 7
7 + 3 = 10
10 + 4 = 14
14 + 5 = 19

Thus, the correct option is (a) 19
