3 + 8 = 11,
11 + 6 = 17,
17 + 4 = 21,
5 + 9 = 14,
14 + 7 = 21,
So the correct answer is 21.
11 + 6 = 17,
17 + 4 = 21,
5 + 9 = 14,
14 + 7 = 21,
So the correct answer is 21.

Option A.
Because : 3,
3 * 2 - 1 = 5.
3 * 4 - 1 = 11.
3 * 5 - 1 = 14.
3 * 6 - 1 = 17.
But 3 * 7 - 1 =20 So option A is correct.
