Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence has a common ratio r between consecutive terms

r = [tex]\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{a_{3} }{a_{2} }[/tex] = ...

[tex]\frac{-14}{-7}[/tex] = 2

[tex]\frac{-28}{-14}[/tex] = 2

[tex]\frac{-56}{-28}[/tex] = 2

There is a common ratio of 2 between consecutive terms.

Hence sequence is geometric → B
