A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the next or previous numbers are arrived at by multiplying by a number. An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which the next or previous numbers are arrived at by adding a number. since 216 times 1/18 is 12 and 12 times 1/18 is 2/3, this is a geometric sequence decreasing by a factor of 1/18. c is correct.
