To solve this problem, we need to look closely at the given string: 11ec1c4b_37f8_3136_bc14_3d4cd06007b3_TBX9048_00.
We can see that the string contains only hexadecimal digits and underscores. It is likely that the digits and underscores are used to represent a pattern, and we need to use this pattern to find the next row of the triangle.

One way to approach this is to convert the hexadecimal digits to decimal and then look for a pattern. For example, converting the first four hexadecimal digits gives us the decimal number 46269627. If we divide this number by 1000000, we get 46.269627. This suggests that the first number in the next row of the triangle might be 46.

Continuing this process with the next four hexadecimal digits (37f8) gives us the decimal number 14200. If we divide this number by 1000, we get 14.2. This suggests that the second number in the next row of the triangle might be 14.

We can repeat this process with the remaining hexadecimal digits to get the sequence 46, 14, 20, 25. However, this sequence does not match any of the answer choices.

Looking more closely at the string, we can see that it contains the substring "TBX9048_00", which suggests that this is a code or identifier of some sort. The most likely explanation is that this is not part of the pattern and should be ignored.

If we ignore the "TBX9048_00" substring, we are left with the string "11ec1c4b_37f8_3136_bc14_3d4cd06007b3". We can see that this string contains four groups of four hexadecimal digits each. We can try converting each group of four hexadecimal digits to decimal and then look for a pattern.

For example, converting the first group gives us the decimal number 472361099. If we divide this number by 10000000, we get 47.2361099. This suggests that the first number in the next row of the triangle might be 47.

Continuing this process with the other groups gives us the sequence 47, 52, 44, 7. If we add these numbers together, we get 150. This suggests that the sum of the numbers in the next row might be 150.

The best answer choice that matches this pattern is C, which gives us the sequence 5, 10, 15, 20, 25. If we add these numbers together, we get 75, which is half of 150. This suggests that the sum of the numbers in the next row might be 300, which is twice 150. This matches the pattern we found earlier.

Therefore, the answer is C (5 10 15 20 25).
