Josh writes the numbers $1,2,3,\dots,119,120$. This time, he skips the first number $(1)$, marks out $2$, goes back to $3$ skipping it, and marks out $4$ and so on in this skipping and marking order. When he is done marking out every second number in a full cycle through the list, he immediately starts the new cycle with the first unmarked number, marking every second number again. Josh repeats this process until only one number remains. What is that number?

**C)** 64 
**D)** 96
