The given sequence is

-4 , 0 , 4 , 8 , ......

the given sequence is arithmetic sequence

because there is a common difference between the terms of the sequence

common difference = 0 - (-4) = 4

as a check = 4 - 0 = 4 and 8 - 4 = 4

and the first term is -4

So,

The explicit formula is an = a1 + d ( n - 1)

an = -4 + 4 ( n - 1)

The answer is option c
