The situation describes a company that has 16 times as many employees each year as it did the previous year. This means that the number of employees grows by a consistent multiple each year, which characterizes a geometric sequence.
In a geometric sequence, each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed number (in this case, 16).
Therefore, the correct answer is:
B) geometric
