Amani Mathis · Answer 1

B B B

Step-by-step explanation:

A]

Each term goes down by 12 from the previous term. The sequence is arithmetic - B.

B]

The correct recursive function is

An = A_ (n-1) - 12

which means that the correct answer is B

C]

The first term, if that is what your nomenclature means, is 41.
