A Correct answer
Explanation

This is an arithmetic sequence with a = -8 and d = 2. The n-th term is a + (n-1)d. The 5th term is -8 + (4)(2) = -8 + 8 = 0.

AI explanation

The series follows an arithmetic progression starting with -8 and having a common difference of 2. The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression is Tn = a + (n - 1)d. To find the 5th term, we calculate T5 = -8 + (5 - 1)2, resulting in -8 + 8, which equals 0.
