Bird · Answer 1

A is geometric because each number is multiplied by 5.

B is not geometric because it is an arithmetic sequence.

C is a geometric sequence because each number is divided by 2.

D is neither geometric not arithmetic because there is no common ratio and there is not a pattern being added or subtracted to each number.

So, your answer should be B and D.
