Solution

The correct option is D 37, 20
There are two patterns in the given series, followed by alternate numbers:
8, 43, 11, 41, 14, 39, 17, ___ , ____ .

The first one starts with 8, the first number, which adds 3 to 11, the third number.

The other series starts with 43, the second number, from which 2 is subtracted to get 41, the fourth number.

The two series can be shown as:

So, the next two numbers will be 37 and 20.
