8 8 is the correct one because we subtract 3 from each term.
20-3 = 17
20-3 = 17
17-3 = 14
17-3 = 14
14-3 = 11
14-3 = 11
11-3 = 8
11-3 = 8.
so the correct answer is A.
20-3 = 17
20-3 = 17
17-3 = 14
17-3 = 14
14-3 = 11
14-3 = 11
11-3 = 8
11-3 = 8.
so the correct answer is A.

20-3 = 17.
20-3 = 17 After we get 17 17.
17-3 = 14.
17-3 = 14 We get 14 14.
14-3 = 11.
14-3 = 11 We get 11 11 its correct ans.
11-3 = 8.
11-3 = 8.
20-3 = 17 After we get 17 17.
17-3 = 14.
17-3 = 14 We get 14 14.
14-3 = 11.
14-3 = 11 We get 11 11 its correct ans.
11-3 = 8.
11-3 = 8.

Actully 11 should repeat but, in the series 11 is given itself. So next number is 11 and next one 8 (11-3).
