    D.

    Correct option is A

    The sum of 4 consecutive odd numbers is 160.

    ​​Solution: 

    Let the numbers be:x,x+2,x+4,x+6x, x+2, x+4, x+6
    then, 

    x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)=160x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) = 160

    4x+12=160  4x=148  x=374x + 12 = 160 \\ \ \\\ 4x = 148 \\ \ \\ \implies x = 37​​
