Let's break down the pattern in the series: 16, 32, 8, 48, 6, 60, 5, ?

- Start with 16.

- Multiply 16 by 2 to get 32.

- Divide 32 by 4 to get 8.

- Multiply 8 by 6 to get 48.

- Divide 48 by 8 to get 6.

- Multiply 6 by 10 to get 60.

- Divide 60 by 12 to get 5.

Following this pattern:

- Multiply 5 by 14 to get 70.

Now let's analyze the options:

- Option 1, 70: Correct, follows the pattern established.

- Option 2, 65: Incorrect, doesn't match the pattern.

- Option 3, 75: Incorrect, doesn't match the pattern.

- Option 4, 60: Incorrect, doesn't match the pattern.

Therefore, the number that replaces the question mark is 70.
