@All.
Here is my explanation.
9:8.

9=(3)^2 and (2)^3=8
16:?
16 = (4)^2 = (2)^4=16
So, Option (c) is the answer.

9 : 8 : 16 :: x.

Start the centre value;
8 × 2 = 16.
9 × 3 = 27.

3^2 = 9
3-1=2 so 2^3 is;
2^3 = 8.

4^2 = 16
4-1=3 so 3^3 is;
3^3=27.

simply,

The right answer is 27.
9 = 3^2,
8 = (3-1)^3=2^3,
16 = 4^2,
27 = (4-1)^3=3^3.

2*2*2 = 8 similarly,
4*4 = 16,
3*3*3 = 27.

16 is correct
9 = 3^2.
8 = 2^3.
16 = 4^2.
4^2 => 16.
