I will choose C, 27.

The first number in the list is 555, add all the digits (5 + 5 + 5), you get 15, multiply by 3, you get 45, which is the second number in the list.
Similarly, (4 + 5) = 9. Multiply by 3, you get 27, which is the third number in the list.
Again, (2 + 7) = 9. Multiply by 3, you will get 27, which is the answer to this question.

I'll choose D. The bottom left and the top right squares move up and down (respectively) diagonally one space per move. In the second and third model, they rightly switch positions while they are still in motion. The top left one moves down two spaces per move and the bottom right moves up diagonally 2 spaces per move. Keep an eye on those blocks and remember what is what, and where it is moving, also keeping in mind that they pass through the opposite ends if the boundaries are traversed (sort of like old Mario games). Staying in line with this pattern, we reach D.
