What is the 5th term in the Fibonacci sequence?

  1. 3

  2. 4

  3. 5

  4. 8

The correct answer is: 5

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each term is the sum of the two preceding ones, usually starting with 0 and 1. The sequence begins as follows: - The 1st term is 0 - The 2nd term is 1 - The 3rd term is 0 + 1 = 1 - The 4th term is 1 + 1 = 2 - The 5th term is 1 + 2 = 3 It appears there’s a misunderstanding in identifying the 5th term. The correct identification of the terms leads to 3 as the 5th term in the sequence. Going further, if we extend this, the 6th term would be 2 + 3 = 5, the 7th term would be 3 + 5 = 8, and so forth. Therefore, while the answer given was 5, the accurate answer for the 5th term in the standard Fibonacci sequence is indeed 3.
