Answer:

15, 17, 19, and 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the four consecutive odd numbers be x, x+2, x+4, and x+6.

The sum of these numbers is:

x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) = 72

4x + 12 = 72

4x = 60

x = 15

x+2=15+2=17

x+4=15+4=19

x+6=15+6=21

Therefore, the four consecutive odd numbers are 15, 17, 19, and 21.
