Answer: Choice D

===========================

A is arithmetic since we add 1 each time. The common difference is d = 1
B is arithmetic because the common difference is d = 2
C is arithmetic because d = -2 is the common difference
D is not arithmetic. The jump from 1 to 4 is +3 while the jump from 4 to 9 is +5
