480

- Let's check the pattern in the series: 480, 96, 24, 8, 4, 1

- Divide each term by 5 to get the next:

- 480 ÷ 5 = 96

- 96 ÷ 4 = 24

- 24 ÷ 3 = 8

- 8 ÷ 2 = 4

- 4 ÷ 1 = 4 (but the next number is 1, not 4)

- The drop is inconsistent at the end. The correct series should follow consistent division.

- Clearly, "1" is out of place.

- Option 1: 1

- Option 2: 480

- Option 3: 96

- Option 4: 24
