The answer is A. -3, 1, 5, 9, 13, 17.
In options B and D, f(x) = 4x - 2 and f(x) = 3x - 2, the rate of change is constant and equal to the coefficient of x, which is 4 and 3 respectively.
In option C, an = 3 + (n - 1)(4), the rate of change is also constant and equal to 4.
However, in option A, the numbers form an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 4. Therefore, the rate of change is not constant and the sequence is not like the others.
