14 is a composite rest of them are prime except 21 so we can say that 14 is even and all other are odd.

3, 5, 11, 17, 21 is a odd numbers and 14 is an even number.
But 14 divided in 2 two part of 7+7 = 14. 7 is a odd number.

Because 14 is the only even number and all others are odd numbers, so 14 is odd in the series of odd numbers.

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.
