Remember that a key element of an arithmetic sequence is the common difference. If you take any number in the sequence and then subtract it by the previous one, and the result is always the same or constant, then the sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

Notice that if you take any number in the given sequence and then subtract it by the previous one, you'll always get -9

Therefore, the sequence is arithmetic

(Option A: True)
