Explanation
The phrase "It ultimately appeared in six of the series" suggests that there were six films in the series where the jewel appeared, regardless of whether it was relevant to the plot or not. Since the phrase also mentions that the phrase was used for "all the subsequent films in the series," it implies that there were additional films in the series where the jewel did not figure in the plot. Therefore, the total number of films in the series would be more than six, making the correct answer "Eleven."
