The pattern followed here is:

Logic: (First number × 4) - 4 =  Second number.

Let's check each option one by one.

Option 1) 15 - 56

⇒ (15 × 4) - 4 

⇒ 60 - 4 = 56

Option 2) 13 - 48

⇒ (13 × 4) - 4 

⇒ 52 - 4 = 48

Option 3) 11 - 39

⇒ (11 × 4) - 4 

⇒ 44 - 4 = 40 ≠ 39.

Option 4) 17 - 64

⇒ (17 × 4) - 4 

⇒ 68 - 4 = 64

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
