Answer

Option C is correct.

The next three terms are 47, 76 and 123.

Step-by-step explanation

The key to writing the next term in a Fibonacci sequence is that each term is the sum of the two preceding terms before it.

3rd term = (2nd term) + (1st term)

4th term = (3rd term) + (2nd term)

and so on

So, starting from 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29

Next term = 29 + 18 = 47

Term after that = 47 + 29 = 76

Term after that = 76 + 47 = 123

Hope this Helps!!!
