Answer:

B

Explanation:

An arithmetic sequence there will be a constant difference between terms.

Option A: this sequence is not an arithmetic sequence as the difference between the 1st term and the 2nd term is ×
(1)/(2), but the difference between the 3rd term to the 4th term is ×
(1)/(4).

Option B: this sequence is an arithmetic sequence as the differences between every two consecutive terms are +5.

Option C: this sequence is not an arithmetic sequence as the difference between the 1st term and the 2nd term is -8, but in the difference between the 2nd term and the 3rd is +8.

Option D: this sequence is a typical fibonacci sequence, and clearly we can see that the differences are different in every two consecutive terms.

I hope this helps, ask me any question if you do not understand :)
