Try this solution:
0.2; 0.2*(-0.3); 0.2*(-0.3)*(-0.3); 0.2*(-0.3)*(-0.3)*(-0.3);... etc.
if the first term of this sequence is n=1, then only 'C' is the right answer:

a_n=0.2*(-0.3)^(n-1).

The explicit formula for a Geometric Series can be written as:


a_(n)= a_(1)(r)^(n-1)

Here,
a_(1)=First Term = 0.2

r = Common Ratio = - 0.06/0.2 = -0.3

Using these value in above formula, we can write the explicit formula of the sequence as:
a_(n)=0.2(-0.3)^(n-1)

So, option C gives the correct answer
