Best answer

Answer: B. is an A.P., Reason \(d = 4\)

Answer: (B) is an A.P., Reason \(d = 4\)

\(t_2 - t_1 = -6 - (-10) = 4\), \(t_3 - t_2 = -2 - (-6) = 4\), \(t_4 - t_3 = 2 - (-2) = 4\).

The difference between successive terms is constant, so the sequence is an A.P. with common difference \(d = 4\).
