Two sequences with more than one logic

Puzzling Asked on January 8, 2021

Find the missing terms in the sequences below

5, 7, 11, 15,…?

A) 23
B) 28
C) 25
D) 19

10, 11, 19, 23, ?, 41…

A) 24
B) 28
C) 31
D) 37

Interestingly, the exercise presents alternatives. I believe that to force the identification of a specific logic.
The first sequence appears to be equal to the number of unrestricted partitions of $n ; (a_n = p (n + 4), n geq 0)$. Thus, the term that should follow 15 should be 22, which is not present in the alternatives.

The second sequence differs from this by only one term (the desired one). I can’t capture the difference between the two
