Answer:

Correct choice is C

Explanation:

The first term of arithmetic cequence is -15, the second term is -7, the third term is 1 and i.e.

The difference between two consecutive terms of the arithmetic sequence is the difference of the arithmetic sequence. Thus, the difference of the arithmetic sequence is


-7-(-15)=-7+15=8\text{ that is exactly } 1-(-7)=1+7=8.

Hence,

  • fourth term is
    1+8=9;
  • fifth term is
    9+8=17;
  • sixth term is
    17+8=25;
  • seventh term is
    25+8=33.

Next four terms are 9, 17, 25, 33.
