To find the 12th term, substitute $n = 12$ into the formula: $a_{12} = 2(12) - 3 = 24 - 3 = 21$. My previous response contained an error in calculation. The correct calculation for the 12th term using the given formula $a_n = 2n - 3$ should indeed result in $a_{12} = 2(12) - 3 = 24 - 3 = 21$, which is not listed among the provided options. This indicates a mistake in my response regarding the options provided.
