The correct answer is

5

This is a missing-number (matrix) problem where the fourth entry of each row is built from the first three by a single fixed operation.

Try the plain product of the three known numbers. Row 1: \(4 \times 5 \times 2 = 40\), which equals the fourth entry exactly.

Check Row 3: \(5 \times 4 \times 3 = 60\), which also equals its fourth entry.

So the confirmed rule is simply: fourth number = product of the first three numbers, with no added constant.

Apply to Row 2, where the third number is unknown: \(2 \times 7 \times ? = 70\).

Simplify: \(14 \times ? = 70\), so \(? = 70 \div 14 = 5\).

The key concept is validating one operation on the fully known rows and then solving for the gap. Hence the missing number is 5.
