your answer is A because a geometric progression is increased by a factor of 3, therefore 4x3=12 and 12x3=36.

hope this helps!!

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric progression its also known as a geometric sequence. Where each number in the sequence, its found by multiplying the number by the same factor.

In answer A, 4x3 its 12. And 12x3 its 36.

The other answers do not have a common radio or do not share the same ratio among the numbers in the sequence.
