A geometric sequence is created when you multiply each number by the same nonzero rational number.

Choice A is geometric because to get the next term, the number is multiplied by -4.

Choice C is also geometric because each time the number is multiplied by 1/2 to get the next term in the sequence.

The other choices are not geometric because you are either not multiplying at all or what you are multiplying by changes.
