The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Let's look at the difference between the consecutive numbers:

121 − 117 = 4
117 − 108 = 9
108 − 92 = 16
92 − 67 = 25

These differences form the sequence: $4, 9, 16, 25$ which are perfect squares: \[ 2^2, 3^2, 4^2, 5^2 \] Continuing this pattern, the next difference should be: \[ 6^2 = 36 \] Now subtract from the last term: \[ 67 - 36 = \boxed{29} \]
