Answer:
geometric with r = 2
Explanation:
An arithmetic sequence has a common difference between consecutive terms
6 - 3 = 3
12 - 6 = 6
24 - 12 = 12
48 - 24 = 24
96 - 48 = 48
As we see the differences are not common, so not arithmetic
A geometric sequence has a common ratio between consecutive terms.
6 ÷ 3 = 2
12 ÷ 6 = 2
24 ÷ 12 = 2
48 ÷ 24 = 2
96 ÷ 48 = 2
There is a common ratio of 2, so sequence is geometric
with 5th term = 48
