What do you think?

OpenStudy (kash_thesmartguy):

Here is the difference between them: An arithmetic sequence is a sequence with the difference between two consecutive terms constant. The difference is called the common difference. A geometric sequence is a sequence with the ratio between two consecutive terms constant. This ratio is called the common ratio. Might help!

No. 1 is definitely D because it's arithmetic and changes by 2.
