A geometric sequence in which each next term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant; therefore, every adjacent pair on entires in a geometric sequence have a common ratio. Hence, if any two consecutive entries in a sequence have a common ratio, it is a geometric series; therefore, choice B is the correct one to choose.
