The answer is C: 41.

The rule

Add 6 each time.

The pattern as Python code

Here is a tiny Python program that follows the same rule. Type it into IDLE and run it to print the whole pattern, including the answer.

number = 5
for step in range(7):
    print(number)
    number = number + 6

When you run it, Python prints:

5
11
17
23
29
35
41
