Answer:

Pattern B

Explain:

A quadratic relationship is characterized by constant second differences.

Pattern A

Sequence: 0, 2, 4, 6

First Differences: 2, 2, 2 . . . . constant indicates a 1st-degree (linear, arithmetic) sequence

__________________________________________________________

Pattern B

Sequence: 1, 2, 5, 10

First Differences: 1, 3, 5

Second Differences: 2, 2 . . . . constant indicates a 2nd-degree (quadratic) sequence

__________________________________________________________

Pattern C

Sequence: 1, 3, 9, 27

First Differences: 2, 6, 18

Second Differences: 4, 12 . . . . each set of differences has a common ratio, indicating an exponential (geometric) sequence

__________________________________________________________

Pattern B shows a geometric relationship between step number and dot count.
