Assume you have a series of pentagons instead of hexagons, where each successive pentagon contains one more band consisting of dots. Each additional dot layer grows proportionally by adding dots equivalent to the number of sides multiplied by the layer number. If a small pentagon starts with 1 dot and enlarges by adding 5 dots in the first layer, 10 in the next (each pentagon side grows by 2 dots each time), and so forth, how many dots will be in the fourth pentagon?
A) 28
B) 31
C) 35
D) 40
