It has been given that the Fibonacci sequence starts as 0, 1 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 8

We can see that every term is equal to the sum of the previous two terms

We already have 7 terms, so to determine the next three terms:

term 8 = t₈ = t₇ + t₆ = 8 + 5 = 13

term 9 = t₉ = t₈ + t₇ = 13 + 8 = 21

term 9 = t₁₀ = t₉ + t₈ = 21 + 13 = 34

Hence, the next three terms are 13, 21 and 34. So the correct option is B
