- We have 12 consecutive odd numbers, and their average is 32.

- The average of evenly spaced numbers is equivalent to the middle number in the sequence.

- Hence, 32 is the middle number in these 12 numbers.

- The sequence of numbers could be represented as $n - 11, n - 9, . . ., n + 9, n + 11$ .

- The smallest number is $n - 11$ , and the largest number is $n + 11$ .

- The difference is $(n + 11) - (n - 11) = 22$ .

?? Correct Answer: Option 1 - 22.
