d because for a sequence you can't have a -1st term so b is out and a and c mean the same thing so neither of them can be the answer

Answer: All integers where n ≥ 1

Explanation:

We know that the domain of any sequence is the set of natural numbers
\mathbb{N}.

Therefore, the domain for the given arithmetic sequence
a_n=-5+3(n-1) is the set of natural numbers.

Since we know that the set of natural numbers starts with digit 1.

Therefore, the domain of the given arithmetic sequence is all integers where n≥1.
