APrimes
BOdd numbers: 3, 5, 7, 9, ... — illustrating that each square is the sum of consecutive odd numbers

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Odd numbers: 3, 5, 7, 9, ... — illustrating that each square is the sum of consecutive odd numbers
Per NCERT §8.1, differences (4−1, 9−4, 16−9, 25−16) = 3, 5, 7, 9 — successive odd numbers. So n² = 1+3+5+...+(2n−1).
