Answer:

Option C) Ascending Third

Step-by-step explanation:

Each chord's root is a third higher than the previous chord's root.

Roman Numerals:

I = 1 , II = 2 , III = 3 , IV = 4 , V = 5 , VI = 6 , VII = 7

Sequence:

I - IV - vii - iii - vi -ii - V - I = 1 - 4 - 7 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 5 - 1

Each cord that goes higher is ascending by three

Hope this helped :)
