To identify the recursive function for the sequence 41, 29, 17, 5..., let's observe the differences between consecutive terms:

- 41 to 29: \( 41 - 29 = 12 \)
- 29 to 17: \( 29 - 17 = 12 \)
- 17 to 5: \( 17 - 5 = 12 \)

It appears that each term is obtained by subtracting 12 from the previous term. Therefore, we can summarize this with a recursive formula.

The recursive formula is:

\[ A_n = A_{n-1} - 12 \]

Given that the first term (A1) is 41, we can summarize the recursive function as:

- **Recursive Function**: \( A_n = A_{n-1} - 12 \) with \( A_1 = 41 \)

This matches the option you provided as:

\[ A_n = A_{n-1} - 12, 41 \]
