One term in the number series is wrong. Find out the wrong term. 46080, 3840, 384, 48, 24, 2, 1

The answer is $\boxed{\text{C}}$.

The number series is $46080, 3840, 384, 48, 24, 2, 1$. Each term is obtained by dividing the previous term by 10 and then subtracting 8. Therefore, the next term in the series should be $2 \div 10 – 8 = -6$. Since $24$ is not equal to $-6$, it is the wrong term in the series.

Here is a step-by-step solution:

1. Divide the first term by 10 and then subtract 8. This gives us $46080 \div 10 – 8 = 3840$.
2. Divide the second term by 10 and then subtract 8. This gives us $3840 \div 10 – 8 = 384$.
3. Divide the third term by 10 and then subtract 8. This gives us $384 \div 10 – 8 = 48$.
4. Divide the fourth term by 10 and then subtract 8. This gives us $48 \div 10 – 8 = 24$.
5. Divide the fifth term by 10 and then subtract 8. This gives us $24 \div 10 – 8 = -6$.

Therefore, the next term in the series should be $2 \div 10 – 8 = -6$. Since $24$ is not equal to $-6$, it is the wrong term in the series.
