If you add 1 to every option it becomes a multiple of 3 except for 331. Then why can't we have 331 as the answer?

Answer may be 331 also as all other numbers in the series has their digit's sum of either 11 or 14 except 331.

Another possible answer is 331. If we divide all the given number by 3 then remainder will be 2, except 331.

3*3=9 hear for the 8. So read the sentence means odd man out because no multiply in digits so 383 is right.

I think the correct answer is C.
In each number, the sum of the digits is either 11 or 14 except 331.

2+6+3 = 11,
3+8+3 = 14,
3+3+1 = 7,
5+5+1 = 11.
Answer is 383 because only 14 is even number.
3+8+3 = 14,
3+3+1 = 7,
5+5+1 = 11.
