The correct answer is B. 6, 24, 96, 384

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate the first four terms of the sequence, this way:

an=4an-1 where a1=6

First term:

aₙ = 4aₙ₋₁, where a₁ = 6

Second term:

a₂ = 4a₁ = 4 * 6 = 24

Third term:

a₃ = 4a₂ = 4 * 24 = 96

Fourth term:

a₄ = 4a₃ = 4 * 96 = 384

The correct answer is B. 6, 24, 96, 384
